"Maxthon is for those who want to download a browser and have it include everything you could possibly need out of the box, but still be customizable. Maxthon has that. You can reorganize how it looks, download skins, take away the icons, download add-ons, and so on. No other browser lets you do so much to mess with it. And the fact that it's got two different rendering engines to choose from doesn't slow it down at all - it's a very speedy browser," says Steve Horton of PCWorld.

"Maxthon 3 is a great browser, which the editors at PCWorld also recognize. With the advantages we provide, users have a quick – and high quality – means of getting online and maximizing the power of the web," says Karl Mattson, GM of Maxthon International/Chief of Product Development
