    I would be happy if Max 3 could be the Max 2 interface with the Webkit engine. For those who want the sparse Chrome-like interface a button could be installed to go to that interface or stay with the feature rich Max 2 as it is now.
    I have been with Max 2 since the start and have seen it evolve into the browser it is today and I use it constantly. I'm anxious to see this evolve.

    Maxthon 3 is simply the best version so far. I don't like Maxthon 2 because it's bloated with too many features which majority even don't use. I wanted it to be clean, simple, and lite. With Maxthon 3 they are going in the right direction.

    Plus the greatest thing they did is they moved away from Trident. Now they are using webkit as a browser engine which is more faster, and follow 100% web standards.

    I am simply loving this version it so far. Lets see what happens next in later releases :)

    It's been a very long time & still it's an Alpha.
    Bring this sucker into beta already.....
    slow pokes !
    Not to say that I'd like the Maxthon 3 anyway, but if it's better than the 2.0 version, well maybe I'll mess with it for a while.
    As it stands right now, I have no use for it..

    Huge Maxthon 1.6.x supporter, but they started going in the wrong direction with version 2 and now version 3 seals the deal.

    No Window Frame should NOT be a requirement. At the very least, users should be able to toggle that feature on and off.

    The stability problems and in my opinion poor development choices in both versions 2 and 3 have finally pushed me away from the IE platform entirely and I have switched completely over to FireFox 3.x

    It's sad to see what was a fantastic program end up so horribly mangled like it has been in 2 and now 3. Incredibly disappointing.

    I don't understand why all the people lambasting Maxthon 3 for not having a window frame aren't also lambasting Chrome and the latest renderings of Firefox 3.7 for the same....
