message: "Maxthon seeks to provide many rich features, but without losing any of the compatibility of Internet Explorer. It competes directly with Firefox and Opera."

replies: text: That file doesn't seem to exist. "Max-ton" as opposed to "max-thon" certainly seems a strange pronunciation. Why didn't they call it Maxton if that's what they wanted? Flapdragon (talk) 08:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

On the other note, many of the browser features are of shoddy quality (like favourites window closing on you when you start selecting fav folder to put the bookmark in).

message: :Image:Maxthonlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Maxthonlogo.png

message: "Maxthon is reported to be the second most popular browser in China, and it has been downloaded more than 150 million times worldwide." The source for the second statement is the Maxthon site itself. Assuming maybe half the people end up using it as their primary browser, that leaves 75,000,000 people using it. Roughly 1.5 billion people use the internet (http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm).
Given that, Maxthon should have roughly 5% of the usage shares of web browsers, but it isn't even mentioned anywhere. Is it because Wikipedia needs updating, or it's counted in the IE shares, or the downloads stats are faulty, etc.? If the latter, how would we find out?Tergadare (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Mostly counted in IE shares ( http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Maxthon/ ) , somewhat like Opera used to be by default. 85.194.193.95 (talk) 07:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
