Download Maxthon 3.0.13 RC

After several betas, Maxthon has now released a release candidate of version 3.0 of its web browser of the same name. Maxthon once started under the name MyIE2 as a so-called wrapper, 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. In version 3.0, in addition to the IE engine Trident, there is also a second rendering engine on board, namely the WebKit originally developed by Apple. This is used in Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome, among others. Below is the changelog of this release.
