Maxthon Browser 4.5.2.2000

Search the internet with a fast and reliable browser
One of the first things that people should install on their phones is an internet browser. There are many free and reliable browsers out there, but if you've grown tired of the popular ones, why not use Maxthon. It's truly lightweight, easy-to-use and really reliable.

Intuitive browser that fails to stand out

The browser opens directly with the home page. There's no tutorial or instructions to show you how to operate the app, but its layout is really intuitive and you'll get the hang of it fast. The browser has all settings neatly arranged in a bar at the bottom of the page making them accessible at all times.

It doesn't come with additional themes, but it does sport a night mode with dark background for whenever the lights are dim or out. The browser lets users add shortcuts to their favorite websites on the home page.

You can scroll through all the recommended and most visited websites, or add the URL manually. Other than that, the browser comes with a newsbites section which features thumbnails with pictures and headlines of top events in several industries.

Browse the internet fast

Just like most other browsers, Maxthon allows users to open multiple tabs at once. The address bar at the top of the page is automatically hidden, to provide users with more screen space. A QR scanner is also featured on the toolbar.

Users have the option of bookmarking pages, turning their screen brighter or searching for words in text. In addition, you can download images and files or check your history. Users can also share pages with friends on social networks. In addition to that, the app lets you change font size and format the reading mode. It comes with folders in quick search and the hot search keywords in the address bar vary depending on your location.

Sync your browsing history

The app lets you sync your tabs and information in cloud, to make it available on more than one device that you may use so you won't lose your browsing history. The app also comes with an incognito mode, for private browsing during which the device won't record pages that you've visited.

In addition, the app comes with the option to access Game Center from Quick Access page. It also has a Quick Type feature. When you tap the address bar, a website address suggestion will appear above the keyboard.
