Well, the only annoying thing about Maxthon is “Maxthon 5”. days, months and years passed, but Maxthon 5 is still Maxthon 5. No new version for a long time.

Maxthon had released another browser named ‘MX Nitro’. It was a minimal and very fast browser. Indeed MX Nitro could become a revolutionary web browser if it continued. The company might have lost interest in its development due to some reason. That is sad.

Maxthon browser has a built-in video downloader. It helps you download YouTube videos without IDM (Internet Download Manager) or any other video downloader software. If you download videos massively and get tired of ever expiring license of IDM or other video downloader problems, then MX can be a life saver for you. It can download videos from any website including YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion etc.

The design and color scheme of this browser looks light and dull. If you like light sky color, then it is okay for you. But the overall color scheme is not much intelligent as compared to modern browsers. However, this makes the browser look like a classic one.

The browsing speed is though not impressive, it is satisfactory. At least it is much faster than Internet Explorer.

Overall, Maxthon Cloud browser is a nice tool for specific purposes rather than a regular web browser. Lack of updates have made it more vulnerable to security threats. Though not serious issues reported about it, such browsers cannot be recommended for social and banking usage.
