Relese Date Incorrect
Typo in the news of the release of Maxthon on homepage. Should be "Feb 17."
Slow
From what I saw of Maxthon, I liked it, but I was forced to go back to Firefox because it constantly freezes when I run it from my flash drive, sometimes for several seconds at a time. Seems like it's doing an awful lot of writes to the drive, even more than Chrome...
Not too slow
I notice a slight pause when loading pages, but, in my experience, it's actually better than FFP at saving history without locking up (a lot). I was disappointed though, when I couldn't find out how to change those settings.
Running from the harddrive, it actually runs pretty fast. If we could get out a couple more browsers, then maybe we can do a speed comparison in the future...
For now I'm sticking to firefox.
Hm
I guess my drive is just slow, then. But I haven't seen Firefox lockups like that since 3.0, so I never expected it with a Webkit-based browser. Oh well, I still prefer Chrome anyway.
