I personally never used Maxthon, but indeed it seems from their <A HREF="http://www.maxthon.com/feature.htm" REL="nofollow">feature page</A> that they have additional security features compared to IE.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the correction.Cd-MaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030326541176171725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35005627.post-44727202252485813402008-04-07T10:15:00.000+03:002008-04-07T10:15:00.000+03:00What you say about using alternative programs make...What you say about using alternative programs makes a lot of sense. Because your site is dedicated to eliminating the half-truths in the computer world, I should point out one common misconception that your blog might perpetuate.<BR/><BR/>You identified Maxthon as running on the IE engine (true) and only presenting an "alternative interface" to the IE engine. That's not accurate. The creators of Maxthon have added code that takes it beyond the security protections you'll find in Internet Explorer itself. It is, if you will, a safer, not to mention faster, more powerful, and more versatile IE.<BR/><BR/> Even with this proper distinctionn of how Maxthon works, your advice to take the less beaten path still applies. But I did want to set the record start about this common misunderstanding of Maxthon's relationship to the IE engine.Ron Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139114201400838051noreply@blogger.com
