With Web2Wave, you can store, find and organize all your favorite web content via 3D tabs. The tabs also display an image of each site you have open. It looks a lot like the iPod technology on the new Touch or iPhone., but instead of album covers, Web2Wave displays website coverflows called Surflets.

There are many times when Lynx, Opera Mini, Epiphany, IBrowse, Contiki or Firefox 4.0a1pre is better suited for a specific need than Firefox 3.0b5, latest weekly Opera 9.50 ,latest Webkit nightly, HV3 or Sleipnir. As for Firefox Extensions, anyone ever done any counting on how many of them are either just javascript addons, or GUI to make editing prefs.js (about:config) , userchrome.css and usercontent.css a little more user-friendly ? That said, many Maxthon plugins are just javascript plugins too , the better ones are COM plugins. Disclaimer: see ancient screenshot by clicking on name. Better = Best tool for the job.

If you mean any tests by either European or US magazines or sites, sorry, but all the German PC mags that i know, dont ever hardly *know* or ever mentioned maxthon, much less than including it in their tests. (and I am from Germany, btw, not China). The only thing that is then and there mentioned for IE users is IE7Pro, for those readers, who dont want to go to FF. and no, i still stand by my opinion. *better* is for me, regarding software , any piece of software , whether browser or not, a subjective term.

I've been using Firefox long before the "multi million dollar ad campaign", a.k.a. worldwide popularity, kicked in. It's is safer, it is better for web development, it has undeniably larger plugin database, and (as of the latest 3 beta) it is the least memory consuming browser out there. It's also quite fast - definitely faster than the last version of Maxthron I've tried out. Long story short, I've worked with Netscape, IE, Maxthron, Opera, Firefox, and even an earlier version of Safari. It is my opinion that the only thing out there that's even close to Firefox is Opera, but it fails to provide any kind of reasonable competition in terms of add-ons. I know some may claim that Maxthron is faster (it's an upbuild of the IE engine, should I add more?), more secure, twice as l337, thrice as customizable and so forth, but these are opinions, not facts.

For me (and I can at least claim, I have tried FF, while many who just start to dismiss maxthon, because its not having a multi million dollar ad campaign backing it up) a barebone firefox is plain awful to use. so is plain basic maxthon version. or the plain basic IE 6 and 7. with maxthon AND all my plug ins, I can fully claim, I am up to par with any FF user anytime. and really, what does FF have for a market share in China ?!? lol, 1 or 2 %? Maxthon has nearly 20 or 30 % in China, and as long as Firefox doesn’t give me a killer feature, that is suppose to make it superior to all other browsers, I see no personally use it. long before FF came (or IE7 was developed), I knew what tabbed browsing is, was crash recovery of all tabs was, what ad blocking features one can have, and what plug ins meant. don’t get me wrong, I am tryig to turn this into a philosphical discussion which browser is *better*. Better is a subjective term. also its not about *security*, and OH HOW so superior and safer FF is compared to IE (with or without addons), as so many FF users claim. I am talking purely about usability , and it that, I cannot see, what advantages FF can give me over a something, that I have used for 5 years (no, actually its 6 years now). @ Khmm: I can give you 30 reasons:
all my 30 plugins, that i use both in maxthon 1 and maxthon 2.

@ samer, i hope you are not insulted, if i just link to my reply in another place, but seriously, i can say nothing more to khmm, as what i already said in this post:

But still, a great review for anyone using IE. Regards. Khmm,

As for Maxthron, it was good in 2002-2003, but now it's practically unneeded. With all due respect (and I mean it), it's like reviewing useful utilities for Windows 98 instead of promoting WinXP or any other modern operating system out there that is vastly superior in almost every respect.

I'll stick with Maxthon for now. Perhaps something you should profile it when you get a chance. From your superb taste in free software, I think you will like it too. Note: I am unaffiliated with Maxthon - just a regular user of their software. Thanks, Samer. I’ll stick with Maxthon for now. Perhaps something you should profile it when you get a chance.

The best part in Maxthon is that the re-opened tabs have their individual histories accessible through the browser back button etc. In other words no different from if that tab wasn't closed at all. Does this extension do the same? Funny that you mentioned about a crash (that never happens, does it :-). Maxthon actually automatically brings up a generated page with all the tabs that were open before the crash. Thanks for the reviews - keep them coming. Been lurking for a while and I find the site very useful.
