Talk:Maxthon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Maxthon seeks to provide many rich features, but without losing any of the compatibility of Internet Explorer. It competes directly with Firefox and Opera."

That line needs some citation.

Excuse me but... A wikipedia page really isn't the place for a Changelog, is it. I think a link from the Maxthon page would be appropriate, however.

Some think many are AD from the company. but most of them are not TRUE.

[edit] Correct Pronunciation?

Does anyone really pronounce it "Max-ton?"

I've always pronounced it "Max-thawn" Sockdude 21:39, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Features list

This section reads more like ad copy from the company websiet than encyclopedic content. The exclamation marks and informal writing put me off, but as I've never heard of this browser before, I am patently unsuited to rewriting/fixing it. Have at it... -- nae'blis _(talk) 20:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I myself am a Maxthon user, and I can say that, while what is listed in the features section is true, doesn't sound like what should be in a Wikipedia article. I'll work on it.

look at the firefox page almost all features & releases are mentioned, so if it's good for firefox why not here?? - Suren

[edit] Some edits

I've made a few edits to the features list now. I'm not sure whether or not that will be okay, or if the list should be gotten rid of all together. I shortened it down a bit, to try to make it look less like advertising.

[edit] Using Gecko

Couldn't the user also choose to use Gecko as Maxthon's layout engine? It's been a while since I last used Maxthon, but I thought I used something like that before.

[edit] Add a section about Maxthon upcoming version

Please add some information about Maxthon new preview version 2.0 and what's new.

Done, doesn't sound good enough for Wikipedia, but the Firefox article had a similar list so it can be fixed. Michaelas10 12:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, But why when I uploaded a screenshot, It was deleted?

[edit] File manager ?

Removed the links to List and Comparison of File Managers. I don't think Maxthon is a file manager, and it is not listed in either of those pages anyway... -- Peter 08:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
