Browser Wars: Maxthon 2 vs Firefox 3

I have installed Maxthon 2 and Firefox 3 many times on my computer. I use Firefox as my main browser? In this post I take Maxthon 2.1.1 and Firefox 3 to the challenge to see which one has more features and what not. Of course the choice remains for you to decide which one works best for you. All of the comparisons below use fresh installed browsers, no new installed plug-ins, themes, and so on.

This is all based on my personal preference. Meaning to other people their pros and cons list might be different based on an average user or their preferences.

Thanks for the comparison. But it looks like below Cons about Maxthon is not really problems but your personal browsing style.

I personally don’t like the spell check to appear whenever I write something.

I think popup dialog is more visible to Internet average users.You don’t have to keep IE installed as long as Trident render dll is there.I see it as one of the great leap of Maxthon. Why shall it use slow, bulky IE’s favorite system.

What’s wrong to have the download manager in a tab page? Actually it’s used widely in a lot of software, like Opera, uTorrent web admin etc. A popup download manager is just ‘old style’ UI.
All download history is in the download manager tab… Hey, you said you don’t like popup dialog with spell check and now you like it? What a double standard.

I don’t know what you refer to. But Maxthon can drag and drop text,link or whatever you do with IE. Yes. Maxthon does not have such feature. But if you call it Cons just because Firefox has this feature and Maxthon does not have. You can find really a lot of Cons in Firefox. Just name a few: Screen Capture feature, Advanced Ads blocker, Advanced Proxy, CPU saving mode, File sniffer, Translations, External tools, Boss Key…
