Hi Magdalene, currently this feature is only for members. There might be plans to include this feature for guest accounts subsequently.

please build on beta version Chromium 125...

I'd like to point out that the search bar issue is fixed in this version
Now whatever engine I choose becomes the main 

in the old version I had to choose just drag text to the tab bar to be able to search with the newly chosen engine

But the microsoft form issue is still present
even in safe mode

 

[projektilski]

1. The number of hidden tabs is still not properly shown if more than 100
2. When opening more than 18 tabs from bookmarks, an annoying popup asks for confirmation
3. Maxthon recreates the desktop shortcut with each upgrade and installation, DO NOT DO THAT. Some people like their desktop icon-free.
4. New tabs do not allow to open their custom homepage (google for example). It is unacceptable to hear that this will not be implemented/fixed. 
5. New "window", "incognito" and "session" options inside Maxthon also do not open a custom homepage but a builtin one. 

These are things that are broken for an extremely long time.

Hi Mhzayer, could you disable all extensions and try again?

Hello!
Didn't auto-update & previous version said was already up-to-date.
Manually installed, but after completing, Maxthon didn't start back up.
Manually loaded & briefly showed new features in Chinese, before changing to English.

This is the first 'stable' release in 3 months(!) & we're still stuck on Chromium 109...
Since this is just for Windows 7/8/8.1 users, why not change the development of Maxthon to use a forked (latest) Chromium core, but modify it to remain compatible with older OSs (like Supermium)?  That way all users will be served & happy!  The lack of compatibility & HUGE numbers of security issues that aren't getting fixed isn't worth killing Maxthon for, but that's what will happen if you continue on this doomed path!

Hi,

Wrong links to portable versions. Links take us to maxthon_portable_7.1.7.8000_x64.zip

But thanks anyway

Have feedback to the team on this for them to look into it.

Hi MichaelC362, the team is still updating some components and thus this latest version has not been pushed through the backend.

spoke too soon
I think the download has to do with an extension not maxthon
I no longer can see that button I clicked to download instagram clips

Why is Maxthon's default page in ver.PC https://i.maxask.com/ displayed in EN with messages? And in ver.PT in PL without waterwood? How to set, what to change so that in Maxthon PC the default page looks exactly like in Maxthon PT?

How many months/years will pass, until this small but annoying issue is fixed?

Why? I want to open google.com as my start page for new tabs, incognito, etc.

Hi Refix2, this could be a cache issue. Could you try clearing the browser cache and see if it still appear the same?

Hi grisp1, the developers have just push an updated version this morning. Could you download this 7.1.8.9000 version one more time and try again?

Hi, it does not matter if it is 18, 20, 50, or 200 there should be a checkbox that says "Do not ask again".

Why don't you change the build number when you release an updated version?

Unfortunately, after cleaning the Cache Desktop and Portable problem, the problem is still the same. The same problem is also on a laptop

In addition, a problem with ver.portable arose. After changing the language to EN, the default page began to display exactly as in ver.Desktop, but after reducing the ver. -language on PL the guessed page remained in ver.EN, ver.PL no longer displayed Cache cleaning does not help.

Hi @BugSir009. I was able to sync two desktop computers using the 'old' 7.1.8.9000 build last night, but still can't sync the desktop and Android versions (7.0.5.1000) even with the 'updated' build.

Regards.
