I have been using it for a while... I first started using an IE skin a few years ago with Crazy Browser, then went to Avant Browser, and have stuck with Maxthon since I don't know when... I think there is a thread on here somewhere with all the IE skins I have tried... Laughing

It works well, once you manage ALL the options. I just really like the tabbed part.

Only issue I find is that on a rare occasion it really grabs a hold of the CPU for no apparent reason and will peg it at 100% usage. Doesn't it randomly (it seems), but can also do it with AJAX applications like www.meebo.com.

Others I work with use it now (including the IT guys) and they noticed the CPU thing too...

one thing i dont like is that the password thing built-in with it. you can view my passwords under my brothers profile which is on my system.... so that is VEEEERRRRYYYY annoying.... i gotta do something about that for sure...

Where is that? I knew Firefox was like that, but didn't know Maxthon was!
