Maxthon gains its popularity in China
The web censorship in China (more about this) always lets the China internet user down. Luckily Maxthon, a web browser made by a tiny Beijing company, helps them to survive the censorship. Maxthon can funnel traffic through a Web proxy and circumvent government controls on information in search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Baidu.com. Maxthon is built on IE code and if you don’t like IE, I don’t think you will like Maxthon.
Maxthon offers the proxy feature, but it is not promoted openly. Only a technical-savvy user can activate the function. As a solution of the complication to activate it, many bulletin boards in Chinese give clear instructions on how to do that.
By the way, I’ve found that the analogy of a web-browser from Netanel Jacobsson, a Maxthon senior vice president.
“Browsers are very much like a car,” said Jacobsson. “Most people don’t care what engine is inside, (they) choose which type fits, with the right shape and color.”
Yes, it is quite true for me. I use Firefox only because of its tabbed browsing and security protection. I don’t even think about the engine. I’ve tried Maxthon before, but it crushed many times. But it cost you nothing to give it a try. Maybe this is a better “car” for you.
