Freeze preventing system

Maxthon 2.0 Final is far more stable than the ex versions.

It’s mainly about the Freeze Preventing System. While using a multiple tabs browser and visiting some sites with Ajax, it’s always easy to get the system crash or freeze.

FPS will efficiently prevent these accidents. Though Maxthon 2.0 is using IE kernel, it's still much better than IE 7.0. It’s been tested that Maxthon 2.0 can successfully visit an Ajax site which will definitely get IE 7.0 crashing.

Reliable sites

While you are visiting a special site (like an online bank service) which might need your personal information, Maxthon 2.0 will show a symbol to indicate that if the site is safe and reliable. Meantime the address bar will turn green.

This will prevent you from visiting some fake sites which might cause your loss.

Magic Fill

Magic Fill is a built-in form filler. It support auto-login forms (automatically login to websites that require authentication), and general forms, registration forms for example. Form data is stored encrypted on your harddisk.

Screen Capture

You get multiple ways of capturing the screen.

1. Capture Fullscreen is just like the PrintScreen key on the keyboard. The difference is that you can set the folder to save the image.

2. Capture region mode is the most usable mode. Press Ctrl+F1 and you are in this mode. Select the region you want to capture, and then double click on it.

3. Capture window mode is used for capturing the image which is displayed in a single program window.

4. Capture current web page is used a lot, too. It makes you be able to capture the whole web page which cannot be totally displayed in the screen.

5. Capture all web pages. Just like the “capture current web page” mode, but this mode lets you capture all the web pages at one time.

Float Button

This floating button will be displayed while hovering over images, flash objects and other objects. You can use it to easily zoom, copy the URL, save or add the object or image to Adhunter.

Online Favorites

Maxthon 2.0 contains automatic online favorite & feed synchronization

With the new automatic favorite/feed synchronization feature it's possible to access your favorites from any computer. Just login to your Maxthon account and your favorites will be loaded in the browser.

This feature is fully automatic, no need to remember to sync them yourself. For privacy reasons you will be asked to activate this feature when you start using this browser.

Upload the collector

Probably the most usable function in the final version. Especially for those ones who are dealing with words all day long. Collector is like an embedded notepad tool. Users don’t have to open a notepad and switch between it and the browser anymore. And it can be uploaded to the server automatically just like online favorites. Users can access the info from any computer.
