Maxthon

Maxthon (formerly MyIE2) (pronounced max-ton ) is a web browser for Microsoft Windows. It uses Trident (layout engine), the same layout engine used by Internet Explorer.

Maxthon seeks to provide many rich features, but without losing any of the compatibility of Internet Explorer. It competes directly with Firefox and Opera_%28web_browser%29. Maxthon offers numerous enhancements (see features list below) over Internet Explorer. Because it uses the Trident (layout engine) layout engine, it is subject to the advantages and disadvantages of that engine, although it is more secure.
