Download Maxthon 2.5.1 build 4075

Maxthon has released a new release of its eponymous program with version number 2.5.1 build 4075. Maxthon is a so-called wrapper that fits like a shell around Internet Explorer. The program uses IE’s internal engine to build the pages, but has its own interface with all kinds of additional functionality, including the ability to run the program in your own language, mouse gestures, screen capture and the ability to save your favorites online. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:
