Maxthon takes a bit more time to load than Chrome, but consumes a bit less memory than Chrome, but more than Firefox.

It it isn't as fast as Chrome on benchmarks. Flash isn't supported by Adobe, for Maxthon web browser, same story for Java.

Maxthon doesn't support Windows 7/8/10 features, does not support smooth scrolling, or zooming. Does not support high-DPI, nor multi-touch.

And has scrolling issue as a page loads.

And it has trouble with YouTube, when you pick 4K it only load 1080p. Sometimes stuck at 480p.

I dont like smooth scrolling.

And i dont need multi-touch.

 

My YT works fine.

 

But, I see your points.

 

Either way, I like maxthon

If this trend continues and more ad blocks get blocked then I shall just shift to Firefox. This is a put profit move

I didn't see any ad, but if it stops working I'll just change browser it's not a big deal.

Pale Moon/Opera w/UBlock, no issues.

 

I also noticed that with the Steam in-game browser, I was stuck watching minute long ads on YouTube while trying to find a guide on MGS, so that was extremely annoying.

*sigh*. Is there a browser that's as fast as IE6 or Firefox 4 (both of which are insanely fast on 2x Pentium III EB 1000)?

Looks like Google no longer wants to be abused by shady companies like ABP.

Time is money, data is money. This move hurts consumers as long as isps continue their shady practices.

Haha let the battles begin. They're going to find a way around it. Google is going to do their best to patch it. Rinse repeat.

Safari is great on a Mac, not to mention Chrome cuts your battery life by 2/3.

This is the one really good thing that I can say about Vessel. Their ads are 5 seconds long. 5 seconds. I don't notice the ad many times and it's already over. If nothing else, how about doing something like that? I hate it when I'm listening to some playlist (1 video that's 2 hours long, not 20 videos that last 5 min each) and I get an ad between songs. Really? Make a system that's not irritating and everyone will be happy, instead of forcing them to watch 3 min ads as a revenge. 

Here's the bad part: you pay for Vessel, right?

Looks like google wants chrome to lose market share quickly.
