Maxthon 2 web browser released

Maxthon 2
Firefox and Internet Explorer get most of the attention, but they're not the only web browsers out there. There's also Safari, Opera, and Konqueror. But if you want to try a web browser that is guaranteed to work with every page designed for Internet Explorer without actually you know, using Internet Explorer, you might want to check out Maxthon.

  • Drag a link to open it in a new tab
  • Built in feed reader
