Software Update: Maxthon 3.0.17.1100

Tuesday version 3.0.17.1100 of Maxthon was released. Maxthon once started under the name MyIE2 as a so-called wrapper for Internet Explorer. The program uses IE’s internal engine to display web pages, but has its own interface with many extras functionality, including mouse gestures and online bookmarks. In version 3.0, the Trident IE engine is still present, but the WebKit engine is used by default. This is used in Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome, among others. It is easy to switch between the two engines. Below is the changelog of this release.
