Maxthon - another tabbed browser based on IE engine

Switched to this browser today for couple of reasons:

  • Intergrated with IE more seamlessly. On my previous tabbed browser, Avant, some pages can't be viewed properly but does on this one. One of the sample is to view Photo on MSN space.
  • Native IE plug-in can be used as well as the plug-ins for Maxthon.  Fit-width Print is the one I really want to have on any browsers.
  • External utilites can be embeded on the toolbar, from which you can easily access them without minimize or close the browser.
  • Enhanced AD-blocker.  It blocks not only popup ones but ads in the web page as well.  With Web Ads Blocker enabled, Google Ads on my page will be disappeared even though I don't really want to.
  • Shows the dimension of the window on the right bottom corner while you resize the browser, which is quite helpful while I am doing some web design work.
  • Also, it shows workstation's IP address on the status bar and the speed of download, seems a little gift to me.
  • Seems faster, plus all features I loved on Avant Browser.

Both broswers look really good, highly recommed to anyone who has to stay with IE and wants Tabbed feature.
