Final Version of Maxthon Browser 2.5.3 Available Today

Posted on: Tuesday, 21 July 2009, 07:00 CDT

BEIJING, July 21 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- After months of development and testing, Maxthon International has released version 2.5.3 of its award-winning browser.

The free Maxthon 2.5.3 is available for download at http://dl.maxthon.cn/mx2/mx_2.5.3.80.exe

"We are headed into a major change with the release early next year of the hybrid-engine Max-3," said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. "Max-3 will incorporate two rendering engines -- the Trident engine also used by Internet Explorer, and Webkit, found in Google Chrome and Apple Safari. We want to make sure that we go into the third edition with a strong, stable program."

But there are some significant new features in the interim Maxthon 2.5.3: Support for Flastget3, Bitcomet, and Thunder Mini are added. Users can setup default download manager in Maxthon Setup Center > File Download.

The version also includes isolator technology, which puts a barrier around each tabbed page in the browser so that a crash of one tab doesn't affect other tabs.

Bug Fixes

In this version, users no longer need to change their gmail settings to upload attachment. The flash-based upload works now.

This version also fixes some download manager issues, input problems of certain keyboard layouts.

A more comprehensive list of changes for developers can be found on the Maxthon Blog (http://www.maxthon.com/changelog.htm ).
