A Feature Tour of Maxthon Web Browser

These details are from the Maxthon features page. Pretty impressive stuff.

Tabbed Browsing Interface

Maxthon's powerful tabbed interface will give you the best browsing experience without taking your taskbar space away. All the web pages are arranged inside Maxthon's main window. Multiple web pages are indicated by tabs for easy navigation.

Mouse Gestures
Command your browser just with your mouse! Mouse Gestures are another revolutionary invention among the browsers. With 'Mouse Gestures' enabled, you can use your mouse to command Maxthon easily. And Some people say that it feels like playing KongFu with their mouse.

Super Drag&Drop
Maxthon introduces another revolutionary technology to speed up your browsing - the 'Super Drag&Drop'. With 'Super Drag&Drop' enabled, you can open new links by simply dragging and dropping the link on the page. You can also drag&drop to search selected words with the default search engine or open a link in new tab or save the selected content when CTRL is held down.

Favorites Bar
Maxthon provides a customizable favorites Bar for better access to your "Links" or favorites from other folders. You can open all favorites inside a folder. You also have the option to set favorites as "Most Favorites" in the favorites side bar and open them when Maxthon starts. Even more options are available from the right click menu.

Ad Hunter
Popup ads, Flash ads, Floating ads, Image ads... Get enough with all these annoying ads? Here is the solution: AD Hunter. AD Hunter consists of several neat functions to block all kind of ads. You can use the "Auto Filter" to block popup ads or setup a "Filter List" for more accurate and customized blocking.

IE Extension Support
Can the Google Bar and other IE Toolbar be installed and used in third party browsers besides IE? Even Google will tell you NO, but we can say YES. In fact, not only the Google Bar is supported. Maxthon can also support a lot of other IE plugins and toolbars like FlashGet Bar, etc.

Actually the new version of google toolbar is not compatible with Maxthon and MyIE2 any longer. The Last supported version can be download from Here.

External Utility Bar
With Maxthon, you don't have to start other programs by switching away. Just add them to the Utility Bar and launch them by a single click. You could even set them to start and shut down with Maxthon automatically.

Privacy Protection
We care about your privacy. With Maxthon, you can erase all your browsing information easily and even automatically. You can clear your private information such as the browsing history, cookies, cache...etc with a single click. Further more, you can even setup Maxthon to clear all your browsing information automatically when it closes.

Skins
Maxthon supports flexible skins to change the look of the browser window. With skins you can change the icons, colors and backgrounds of Maxthon. If you want, you can also disable them to enable Windows native skinning. There are already 300+ skins created for Maxthon and more are coming. Be sure to visit the Skins site to find out how beautiful Maxthon could be.

Plugins
You can further enhance the functionalities of Maxthon with plugins. Besides the IE plugins, Maxthon supports its own even more powerful sidebar and toolbar plugins. There are already 400+ plugins created for Maxthon and more are coming. Be sure to visit the Plugins site to add even more features to Maxthon.

Compatibility & Low on Resources
Maxthon has full IE compatibility which means you will still have all you have in IE. Maxthon uses very few resources, resulting in an average of 65% less RAM usage compares to IE when having the same large number of pages open.

More...
There are even more features that Maxthon can provide you, such as, Page Zooming, Simple Collector, Web Services, Password protecting Tabs, URL Aliases and many others. All of them working efficiently while you surf the Internet with Maxthon.
