Wonderful program! Not as feature-packed or snappy as Maxthon 2.x, but definitely the 2nd best IE shell out there. I don't know what all the squawking is about "security". Stay off the pron, gambling, and kiddie gaming sites and you're 100% safe. Even if you do sleep around, Maxthon will protect you from phishing, ActiveX, and scripts. Your firewal and AV will get the rest. I think it's just FF fanboys doing doing all the complaining. Interestingly, tests show that there is virtually no difference in security between IE7 and FF, and IE is faster. Try Maxthon 1 or 2. They do everything that FF should do, and without needing to wrangle a bunch of silly plugins.

These shells would be more acceptable if they were built on a secure foundation. IE7 isn't that secure foundation, so as you go about your business you are running the same risks as all who use any version of IE7. Fortunately IE8 is just around the corner and that may be the secure foundation you and We have been waiting for. I gave it a 3 as I have tried it in the past, but will never venture out with it until it's safe to do so.

Oh man! This is FANTASTIC! I use 1.6.3.80 every single day that I'm on my computer, and the fact that they would kick out another update is just AWESOME! I will need to test compatibility with the More Options 1.6.1 plugin, but if all goes well, then the rating of 5 stars will stand. Folks - seriously - for people who started with MyIE2 and / or Maxthon 1.x, Version 2.x just ain't happenin'. So I'm very glad that they are not only still making 1.x available, but actually working on it! Bug fixes - well, yeah, maybe - but I now feel relevant again. :) I like the Maxthon Standard without all the combo plugin type stuff. Lean, mean and clean. That's what Maxthon 1.x means to me. Happy browsing.

I much prefer this version to v.2 - it has all the features and options I need, as well as being fast, reliable and light on system resources. Nice to see the developers still taking the trouble to fix bugs.
