Maxthon vs Firefox vs Other Internet Browsers Options

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

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.

[ryanoman]

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.)

[*basick*]

i have maxathon... thought it was the best thing ever... now i use firefox cause its better

[wayne]

firefox. the best browser ever.

[faithin_felix]

mozilla firefox here even though many people still use internet explorer. never heard of maxthon though.

[adamwey]

[xquizit]

I <3 Maxthon.

[Eryi]

I don't know about maxthon, but I use firefox and it goes pretty fast at least faster than internet explorer.

[*kryogenix*]

maxthon=myie2

I'll go with Open Source over Microsoft anyday.

Go Mozilla Firefox.

[qoddesscheeks]

maxthon

[supersuperidiot]

Firefox. No doubt of it .

By the way why dont you make this a poll

[ChasingLife87]

FIREFOX.

does anyone use Nescape? Just curious.

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

Firefox. No doubt of it .

By the way why dont you make this a poll 

Hmm...why not. *creates poll*

By the way, i tried firefox and i still think Maxthon is better. ehh.

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

yeah uhhm, this sort of started out as a Maxthon vs Firefox thing, but i decided to add other browsers too...uhm sorry if theres already one like this, i haven't seen one.

[ChasingLife87]

umm, someone needs to merge these.

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

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.

[*kryogenix*]

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.

[Ballpointpencil]

I use Firefox. It is a lot better than any other browser I've ever used.

[TheSpoon]

i choose firefox but some coding looks different and stuff.

i searched on the search thingy. i dont THINK anyone created the topic yet..

[D4rkf4m3]

mozilla firefox is better then ie but im waaay too lazy to dl it :O

[laughn_l0ser]

i like firefox better because i can make more tabs in one window

and barely pop-ups.

[toodlepops.]

I didnt dwnld firefox but i heard its pretty good.

// isn't this supposed to be in technology?

[likeachild]

firefox. definitely.
Install some extensions to make it work better...
also get the "view in IE" extension to see pages that are messed up in firefox

[*stephinika*]

moved & merged.

[KERP1UNK]

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.

[DreamChaser]

i like the new netscape browser

[luffyxfan]

Firefx owns

[ANG33ZY]

i use firefox and ie

[JC4P]

Safari, then Opera, then Konqueror, then Camino, then Firefox.

[Krateguy09]

I use firefox. Maxthon looks like a cheap copy of firefox from what I've heard.

[Retrogressive]

maxthon > firefox

[add1cted2f1re]

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.)

try maxthon

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

[fr0stbite]

actually, with my OS mod (changing windows to mac look), FF jiggles uncontrollably... making me resort to internet explorer :'(

[xCrys]

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

[phoenixpyre]

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

[marzipan]

firefox pwns.

is maxthon as safe and protected as firefox? i haven't even HEARD of it

[phoenixpyre]

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

[marzipan]

is there anything different about it from firefox?

[phoenixpyre]

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.

[marzipan]

sweet!!!


....*considers maxthon*

[phoenixpyre]

ATTA GIRL!!!

ITS SO MUCH COOLER!

[magicfann]

that mouse thing seems pretty cool haha but firefox ftw
safari is just plain gay

[lanbexx]

you do know that u can download an extension for firefox that does all that "kungfu" right?

[marzipan]

ATTA GIRL!!!

ITS SO MUCH COOLER!

[cybersomeone]

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

[tokyo-rose]

There's a browswer called Maxthon? o.O I use Opera and Firefox, and sometimes IE.

[lkajsfklajskds]

thats what i was wondering!

firefox, ftw.
but i like opera, too
ie on rare occasions

[cybersomeone]

see? thats what i meant ... please people if u don't know whats maxthon , either go "discover"it .. http://www.maxthon.com
and come back here and post ..

[heyo-captain-jac...]

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

[illriginal]

I just like firefox... I like the plugins it offers, specially ones for linux users. But I mainly use it at work for FireFTP. Basically a built in FTP client that's really user friendly and gives you more control.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

I use Firefox with a IE tab extension but sometimes I use Opera for a change.

[markmejia]

There's a Maxthon?

- researches -

Edit: Wow, it's like a mix of IE and Firefox. Interesting. I'm still trying to decide which is better though.

[AlanRedgown]

(Hehe, I registered for this forum just to post in this thread.)

I've been using Firefox for a while, and the wide variety of add-ons is one of its biggest selling points for me. However, my computer is extremely slow, and Firefox does seem to take forever to start up. Since some people claim Maxthon is better than Firefox, I'll definitely try it out and see how it measures up.

Still, start-up time isn't everything. Firefox has FoxyTunes, Adblock Plus, a great new bookmark system, and a plethora of other near-flawless features and add-ons, not to mention its security. While Maxthon draws attention to its 1,400 add-ons, Firefox proudly boasts its collection of over 5,000.
