Software update: Maxthon 2.5.5 build 308

A new version of the web browser Maxthon was released on Tuesday. Maxthon is not a standalone browser, but a so-called wrapper that sits like a shell around Internet Explorer. The program uses IE’s internal engine to build the pages, but has its own interface with all kinds of extra functionality, including mouse gestures and online bookmarks. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

• Fixed a bug which causes program crash on exit
