judgedredd007 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I had Maxthon 7.0.0.1300 and decided to update to the newest which was 7.1.6.1000. I then spent 30 minutes trying to resort to my older version. Why? Because some idiot at Maxthon thought that adding a strip bar under the address bar on the quick start page, which showed 'Login to Maxnote' (? can't remember what it actually said) was actually a good thing. It isn't. Stop adding crap without surveying first. That strip takes up screen space and is bloody annoying. And if you INSIST on adding it make it customizable so that users, whom you seem to dump on regularly with awful apps, can hide it. And if you don't like the tone of this message then stop adding crap without allowing it to be hidden or fully controlled by the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magdalene Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 You can hide that strip bar in later versions. There were lots of complaints like yours. Don't upgrade to obsolete versions use the latest. https://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/release-notes6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgedredd007 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I had the tried the latest version as shown on the Maxthon home page and spent quite a bit of time trying to find out how to disable this strip bar. Since I couldn't I then had to figure out which one I had updated from. That's why it took so long. I don't trust Maxthon to come out with an update that allows for removal of that annoying strip bar until someone posts an actual video of the latest version where it is shown how to do it.

Magdalene Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Click on the widget cog on New Tab Page (Bottom Right hand corner). Scroll down then disable Top Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area is normally called the bookmarks bar. But thanks for letting me know where to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
