Download Maxthon 3.0.10 Build 11 Beta

Maxthon has released a new beta release of version 3.0 of its web browser of the same name. Maxthon is not a standalone browser, but a so-called wrapper, which is like a shell around Internet Explorer. The program uses IE’s internal engine to display web pages, but has its own interface with many extras functionality, including mouse gestures and online bookmarks. Version 3.0, however, has, in addition to the IE engine Trident, a second rendering engine on board, namely the WebKit originally developed by Apple. Below is the changelog of this release:
