Exploring Maxthon’s Hidden Features

There used to be a fad for putting “Easter eggs” in software. These were hidden, undocumented bits of code that revealed a surprise if you stumbled upon the right combination of keystrokes and mouse clicks–sort of like the bejeweled scenes that lay inside Tiffany Easter eggs, which explains the origin of the term.

Software Easter eggs, however, are not as valuable or delightful as Tiffany surprises. Usually they are something as unamusing as a list of the names of everyone who worked on the software or a little animated scene.

Maxthon has its own sort of Easter eggs–not that I can tell that was what the developers of Max had in mind when they created them. I suspect, given the wealthy of features in Maxthon, they thought they were just running out of traditional places to stow commands, tools, and menus that Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome should only wish they had, hidden or otherwise. Whatever, the result is that some of Maxthon’s most helpful features are hidden unless you have a roadmap to them.

That’s what this is–a roadmap, or, rather, the first of several road maps that will appear over the coming days. I’m sacrificing the convenience of having all the tourist attractions on a single map because in a single map the territory gets too crowded and the details are too small.
