SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxthon, a global software company that develops state-of-the-art web browsers, announces its selection as the best alternative to Safari for iPads and iPhones by Tom's Hardware. According to the review: "Maxthon is really the only third-party iOS browser that stands out." The full review is available at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ios-web-browser-safari,3326.html.

The review further notes: "Maxthon manages to beat out Apple's own Web browser by a slim margin in uncached page loads."

"Adding performance within the technology limits set by Apple is not an easy thing," said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. "But even with the limitation required by Apple for a company like us to access iTunes, Maxthon for iOS still loads pages as fast and faster than Safari. It's an honor to be able to enhance the iPhone and iPad's already excellent user experience with our approach to high performance web browsers."

Known to hardcore technology enthusiasts since the early days of the web, Tom's Hardware is an independent technology publication focused on providing reviews, analyses and recommendations. In its comprehensive review, it also gave Maxthon for iPad and iPhone kudos for its strong support of HTML5 and web standards' compliance.
