Maxthon (Chinese: 傲游浏览器, formerly named MyIE2) is a freeware web browser, created by JeffChen in Singapore. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as Maxthon Mobile for Android,[8] iOS,[9] and Windows Phone 8.[10] Since version 6, Maxthon is based on Chromium.[11]
Maxthon is a Hong Kong company known mainly for producing web browsers for Windows.[12] It is headquartered in Singapore, with offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, and San Francisco, US. Most of Maxthon's engineers are based in the corporate headquarters in China, which develops and maintains versions of the Maxthon browser for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.[13]

In 2002, current CEO Ming Jie "Jeff" Chen (Chinese: 陈明杰; pinyin: Chén Míngjié) created MyIE2 browser based on open source product MyIE.,[18] in Singapore, and renamed to "Maxthon" in 2003. In 2005, the team received seed funding from venture capital firm WI Harper Group[19] and Morten Lund, the first Skype investor, and Chen moved the company to Beijing.[20][21] In 2006, Maxthon received further investment from the US-based venture capital firm Charles River Ventures.[22]
Maxthon was one of the twelve browsers Microsoft presented in 2010 at BrowserChoice.eu, a website allowing users of Windows residing in the European Economic Area to choose which default web browser to use on their computer.[23] In late 2010, Maxthon began releasing new compatibilities, including browsers for Android[8] Mac,[24] iPhone[25] and iPad.[26] As of August 2012, Maxthon is still in the first tier of browsers in BrowserChoice.eu after the removal of Apple Safari.[27] The Maxthon Cloud Browser was released on December 10, 2012.[28]
In 2016, computer security researchers from Fidelis Cybersecurity and Exatel discovered the browser surreptitiously sending sensitive browsing and system data, such as ad blocker status, websites visited, searches conducted, and applications installed with their version numbers, to remote servers located in Beijing, China. According to Maxthon, the data is sent as part of the firm's 'User Experience Improvement Program' and it is "voluntary and totally anonymous." However, researchers found the data still being collected and sent to remote servers even after users explicitly opt out of the program. The researchers further found the data being sent over an unencrypted connection (HTTP), leaving users vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Fidelis' Chief Security Officer, Justin Harvey, noted the data "contains almost everything you would want in conducting a reconnaissance operation to know exactly where to attack. Knowing the exact operating system and installed applications, and browsing habits it would be trivial to send a perfectly crafted spear phish to the victim or perhaps set up a watering hole attack on one of their most frequented websites."[36][37][38][39][40] Maxthon CEO Jeff Chen claimed that this was due to a bug that was fixed as soon as Maxthon was made aware of the issue;[41] however, Exatel had notified Maxthon of the issue without getting any response. [42] The issue was found in Maxthon version 4.4.5. According to Maxthon, it was fixed in later version and no such issue was reported since then.
According to Maxthon International CEO Ming Jie "Jeff" Chen, Maxthon was based on MyIE, a popular modification created by Chinese programmer Changyou to customize Internet Explorer web browser.[43][44] Changyou posted most of the source code[45] for MyIE on his Bulletin board system before leaving the project in 2000. Chen then continued independently developing MyIE and in 2002 released a new version, MyIE2.[46] Users around the world were quite active in contributing to MyIE2's development, adding many plug-ins, skins and assisting with debugging. MyIE2 was renamed Maxthon in 2003.[22][43]
Maxthon version 1, which continued version 0 of MyIE2, was an Internet Explorer shell that implemented a tabbed browser using the Trident web browser engine which Microsoft introduced with Internet Explorer 4.[54] As such, version 1 was compatible with every version of Windows from Windows 95 to Windows 7.[55] Development of version 1 stopped in 2010 with the so-called Maxthon (Classic), version 1.6.7.35;[55] earlier releases are available from Maxthon,[56] and version 1.6.7.35, which fixed a bug in selecting the default search engine, is still available at other download sites.[57][58]
Maxthon Browser 2 is a multi-tab browser released in July 2007.[47] A later modification in 2008 was the first browser on the market to offer cloud-based services for syncing bookmarks and history.[12] Version 2.x also blocks malicious plug-ins to prevent pop-ups and floating ads, and supports a variety of plug-in tools and IE extensions. It also supports a wide variety of skins and is customizable. New features included:[17]
On September 15, 2014, Maxthon released a beta version for a Windows web browser made for those with slow computers or internet connections. The browser fetched pages 3 times faster than other browsers. The browser had a clutter-free, intuitive look and feel designed expressly to make new users feel comfortable on first use. The browser never came out of beta.[67]
Maxthon 5 (also known as MX5) was released on October, 2016.[68] In the 5.2.x versions, the core of the browser is updated to the Chromium 61 branch point which suggests that the core is using Blink, a fork of WebKit.[69] Aside from a series of new added and improved features, Maxthon 5 also introduces a few major built in functions, such as Maxnote as "your collecting button for the web", Passkeeper as "your smart password manager", and UUMail as "the guardian of your inbox".[70] Through this new version, Maxthon 5 is aiming to become an information assistant for users.[70] New features included:[68]
Maxthon 6 (MX6) was released on 30 November 2020, with regular beta updates since.[71] It claims to be the default browser for 670 million users. Some Maxthon 5 features are not (yet) supported. The browser has an emphasis on blockchain technologies, and offers 64-bit and 32-bit versions on Windows, as well as iOS, Android and portable versions.[72]
Recently I have found some computers on which, due to their performance, no superior operating system can run. For all those who are in the same situation or who simply want to use Windows XP for nostalgia or on a VM, I leave you the list of all (or almost) the browsers you can install.
I just don't understand why both of the updated XP browsers are based off of an engine that's only really good for email clients and embedded browsers. Pale Moon is kinda trash when it comes to a main browser.
It is sad but it is so. As the main browser on XP I use 360 Chrome Browser, which being based on a modern version of Chrome (78) can do almost everything that can be done with an updated Chrome. The problem is that it's a bit heavy, as a lightweight browser I find the best one that offers compatibility with almost all sites is NewMoon.
