As the name might suggest, This is not going to be a long goodie goodie story about a browser. This is what I just liked and thought of sharing it with you.. If you wanna read on just go ahead…or if you are doing something important, juts relax and work on… don’t bother yaarrr.. :-)
OK as I said I am talking about a browser which can be an add-on to Microsoft browser, or more, a browser which gives you the look and feel of the IE but at a diff level and with some great add-ons.
Name: Maxthon
Alias: My IE, My IE2, Black Browser, Open Browser, My IE2, Spider, Hack Browser etc etc..
Original Name: My IE
Origin: web
Source: Open source codes
Necessity: Handicapped features of the IE browser
Versions: Numerous, numerous, keeps on coming
Support: Win ………. Ha :-D and all fans like me…. ;-)
Something about Maxthon:-
An effort started as a solution to flaws left by the great Microsoft team (at least giving the dignity to them by keeping the browser basic features alive) this team of small codes who believed that IE can be given better versions started coding this small software… Regardless of their efforts being noticed by the company, this becomes more of a joint effort and an open source add-on browser of all the things they needed. Result the first My IE Browser…
With the basic functions of the IE preserved, this browser gives more flexibility of :-
blocking annoying pop ups
Eliminating all ads
Various control options for images, video, sound, active X files
Spy ware protection (very special but the team also don’t know this I
think.. suddenly discovered I can say)
- Unique Tab interface ( The MS guys are stealing this very feature in their
coming version – Microsoft Vesta )
Utility bar
Plug-in Bar
Sample collector
Filters
Shortcuts for new window.
High capacity cache
Drag and drop link and new page opening
Clean system ( all clean options)
Maxthons options
Download control
Email (your default client startup support) shortcut
Grouping function
Better import of IE favorites
All window refresh button at once.
All close button
Tab lock – to prevent accidental loss of information and page
Flash save button for your favorite greeting card saving option
Support to all major document processing software’s (pdf, word, xls, pps
etc. )
Link list
Zoom page
Multilingual support
Plug-ins for added flexibility of basic information usage
Sample collector – This is a masterpiece baby… it’s the most awesome
feature I ever found…
NO clutter bars and windows, just pure tabs
Customizable skin and customizable options
Definition of good and bad popup, filters in other words… (One more point added that way)
Check out yourself the benefits of this… I bet it has reduced my operating time on pc but at least some more efficient levels and I can just utilize it for smthing good…
Did I forget to mention the Master button / Boss button… every session of Maxthon have its pre-activated taskbar icon…so if you are watching something naughty, just press the icon… POOF !!! your browser disappears without trace from the bar under… yet you can recover by clicking it again and everything will be just ready for you there….
Check out and give me few feedbacks..
Wait for my second part of the PHONECAM vs. DIGICAM PART 2 article… this will be having loads of comparison and user specific information….
