Maxthon Browser 2.0.1.1000
Maxthon Browser is a strong competitor as it offers users more speed and extra functions that are not found in IE and in some other competitors.
Easy to use interface with a tidy look
The clean interface of this app is coupled with smooth navigation through webpages and menu entries as well. Prepared for use during the day and during the night as well, Maxthon Browser comes with two separate display modes, that favor text and image visibility, while taking a lot of stress off the user's eyes.
The commands are placed at hand, in the lower part of the screen, while the pages saved in the "Quick Access" and "Speed Links" areas allow you to launch the preferred websites with a single tap.
Complete browsing solution for Windows Phone
Adding new tabs and viewing all the opened ones is at hand, as are the favorites and history related menu entries. The ability to pin the preferred webpages to the Start screen is a valuable helper, as it enables you to visit that site directly, without having to open Maxthon Browser and tap a shortcut or input the URL address.
Those concerned with privacy can make good use of the "Private Mode" which can be activated from the "Settings" menu. Browser gestures and page recovery are set to "On" by default, so there are even less configurations for you to go through.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The aspect of this app is good, with smooth navigation and neatly placed commands for controlling the utility. The addition of a "night mode" is a welcomed addition, but it has some glitches as some pages may fail to load completely or can take too long to be displayed properly. |
Function8
The ability to save and organized favorite webpages in a quick launch area is a clear advantage of Maxthon Browser and so is the "Private mode" which will ensure the user data remains safer and less exposed. The ability to save pictures, browser gestures and recovery are also welcomed additions that bring more value to the package. |
Security8
The app needs the location services to be activated upon installation and it will require access to the phone identity and multimedia libraries. Other than that, it fares well with user information and can even keep browsing data private. |
Battery7
The power consumption can go passed average at times and loading lots of pages in separate tabs will make the battery drain faster, especially if they contain dynamic content. |
Price9
Maxthon Browser looks like a keeper from many points if view, especially since it provides all its features free of cost and without nagging users with ad banners and prompts. |
Compatibility8
The application is set to work only with Windows Phone 8 and above handsets and the screen resolution requirements are standard, as it supports HD720P (720x1280), WVGA (480x800) and also WXGA (768x1280). |
