So, You Do Like Maxthon Browser

After trying Maxthon, you feel like to use it, this adorable browser.

You are not alone actually. Many netizens fond of it too.

The browser of this type actually brilliantly developed by Chinese software engineers. And being developed in mainland China it comes with two major effects.

First,  it is designed to use less resources in comparison with the Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. This is easy to understand as the developers taking into account of China's relatively inferior computing hardware in general. It uses the best available option by manipulating the trident engines that resides inside Windows operating system within the hardware limitation boundary.

Second, there are many variants of Maxthon browser, and the lookalikes, and the copycats. This is understandably due to the poor implementation of copyright law in China. The idea of trident manipulation and optimization concept and application becomes an open proprietary secret. There, it becomes sort of a public property and the copy of code made available for any browser designer wannabe. Comes the Maxthon browser, then Dolphin browser, Boat browser, UC broswer, etc. All are developed  within the same concept and probably the source code but then branched out by different people. I dunno who stealing whose idea, whatever.

 So back to Maxthon. It is a syncable browser like Google Chrome, via Maxthon Passport.
You can choose the different browsers engine, gecko or trident on fly.

Go Hybrid: Maxthon vs. Lunascape Browser

It is a war between the three giants in internet browser's world. Between Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. On the other hand, Opera is yet another lightweight browser with good reputation as the fast browser. Although never become a real dominating force into desktop computing environment, it bears a heart of a true fighter. It is there years ago and it is still there now, keep of fighting, still alive and getting even better.

A clear winner is not something that foreseeable easily in the nearest future.

All of them powered by different engine in the background. Chrome is powered by WebKit, Firefox by Gecko, while Explorer is by Trident. 'Engine', as the computing term says. It actually  refers to the core software that browsers are made of. The engine controls the layout, dictates how the browser behaves, and translates html codes into presentable form that the end users can read, see and listen into, etc.

However with Maxthon and Lunascape, browser war isn't only about intense battles, survival and perseverance anymore. The two bring about a different perspective on what browsers are capable of. Instead of fighting, they merge the giant engines into a single browser. Yes, merging them into one. 

Both are developed in Asia. Between these two relatively incognito browsers outside their fan base, Maxthon is actually more popular and has a strong following in China. Lunascape on the other hand, is developed and quite popular  in Japan. 

"Maxthon 3" combines Trident and Gecko engine in it, and can be switched back and forth as necessary,  2-In-1. Means you have Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox at once, in every click.

LunaScape combines Trident, Gecko and Webkit , 3-in-1. Means, Internet Explorer,Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome at once.

I think both are fast loading. Switching back and forth between different browser engines are seamless.The interface is simple and highly customizable. Skins and extensions (addon) base are available. Some Firefox addons are applicable to Lunaspace. I haven't tried them on Maxthon, please ask Mr. Google to know more about them. But they are definitely worth trying.
