Maxthon 2 web browser released

Maxthon is based on Internet Explorer, so it uses the same rendering engine. But it has dozens of features you won't find in Microsoft's web browser. Maxthon 2 has just been released after a long beta period, and it includes a whole slew of updates.
Here are just a few of Maxthon's cooler features
- Completely skinnable interface
- Integrated Ad-blocker, popup blocker and content filter
- Support for mouse gestures (navigate forward, backward, or between tabs by right clicking and moving your mouse in various patterns)
- Drag a link to open it in a new tab
- Built in feed reader
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

In all the talk about different web browsers, I don't see any any mention of Avant browser which is almost similar to Maxthon and which is really user friendly. Hope someone covers it. I am a big fan of it.

I tried the version listed in this posting and I was VERY dissappointed. I uninstalled it within an hour of installing it. I went back to the 1.6 build because it has groups and my groups did not show up in the 2. version.
Avant browser is a good one also btw.

im tired of browsers not being able to do everything!
i am currently running 4 .. going on 6
firefox(main customizable)
opera (security)
flock(people)
songbird (media browsing and playing)
now avant and Maxthon seem like good ways to get the ie compatibility problem that i run into using linux but i have no way to know which is better
anyone knows of firefox addons that can give me these features
(i like it that diversity creates the best programs but eh!)
