Maxthon Cloud Browser is nothing new on the market but it struggled with “the Internet Explorer clone label” but it has been long lost thanks to the interesting multiple features and improvements implemented over the development.
With version 4.2, Maxthon integrates a tweaked Blink rendering engine in order to infuse increased browsing speeds and faster startup and file download times. With Modern Looks and essential buttons readily available in the toolbar, a multifunctional address bar, and the less used features hidden under the menu button.
The browser is available both as a desktop version as well as a portable download for Windows PC. Also available for various platforms including Android, Mac, iPhone and Windows Phone.
