Hi i use maxthon currently and i really like it, but ive heard a lot of nice things about firefox (it's more popular also...).
i was just wondering if anyone here has ever used maxthon // or if you just use firefox, what makes it so good (especially in comparison to maxthon) because im considering switching browsers.

I'm not sure about Maxthon, but Firefox has tabbed browsing, increased security, and a lot of other helpful and safety features. I use Firefox and Internet Explorer (rarely, though.)

ack, sorry >_> i knew i should have kept it Maxthon vs Firefox only as a comparison, but maybe it wouldve been merged anyway. my bad.

May 9 2005, 08:56 PM
closed, will add poll to other thread.
edit: argh, merging.
edit2: i changed the poll around a bit.
AOL's browser is not really it's own browser, it's built on firefox (previously, built on ie). Also, I merged IE with Maxthon, because it is not really a stand alone browser, only a superficial addon. I added K-Meleon and Konqueror to the list too.

Have fun with all the spyware, torjans and other shit your going to be friends with.
Also, you're only talking about Xanga. Jesus, try using firefox on other sites. Such as GOOGLE, or maybe even CREATEBLOG.

it has all that and more:

Command your browser just with your mouse! Mouse Gestures are another revolutionary invention among the browsers. With 'Mouse Gestures' enabled, you can use your mouse to command Maxthon easily. And Some people say that it feels like playing KongFu with their mouse.

dont go by what u heard only, thats called ignorance, and you shouldnt be posting here
secondly, it can only LOOK like another browser if it has the same layout/theme, which you can download tons of

Heheheh, I still use IE :] Hey if it works, stick with it =| I don't think I liked firefox when I first tried it, so I reverted back to IE <3
edit; uLoVeMikeRoch
It messes up more than just xanga, it messes up MS on my friends pc, I despise that she uses FF due to her not being able to see DIVs correctly v_v

FireFox also takes up a VERY big amount of RAM while Maxthon can take up to 65% LESS
That's right
LESS, so... go with maxthon
Someone tell me ONE good thing FireFox has that Maxthon doesn't and I'll kick you in the face tell you three more things that Maxthon has that Firefox doesn't

Acually it is. It has FREE INTEGRATED WebAd Blocker, Popup blocker, and its so much simpler, and doesnt take 30 seconds to START UP like FF does

I don't feel that this topic is worth reply , lot of people here don't
care about what they use ... that's why we see simple answers
like "Firefox for life!". Just cause their dad or friend told them to
use Firefox it doesn't mean its the best , and in the poll ... its shows
that Firefox is more popular ... there's a difference ... how many
people in the world only want to see their email and open work ... and
are soo novice in computers .. and how many people are there in the
world who's Internet is THEIR LIFE (like myself) .. i think maxthon is
better ... I've tried all the browsers .. and i found out that maxthon
is a combined browser ... Firefox and Internet explorer ... so
customizable , and very handy for daily Internet surfing .. ( oh and the line spacing is only so you don't get the feeling its so long ) :D

FF based browsers are the best. Not necessarily Firefox, but Flock, Seamonkey, etc.
