Maxthon 2 Works the Way You Want It To
- Swap, add, move, remove, and change Maxthon's tool bars, icons, menus, colors, skins, and layouts until it looks the way you would have designed it.
- Don't like menus? Use hot keys. Don't like hot keys? Use word aliases. Don't like aliases? Use toolbars. Don't like toolbars? Then use mouse gestures. It's all up to you.
- Think we left something out? Pick from more than 1,400 plug-ins that make Maxthon the do-all of browsers.
- Other companies sell remote conferencing, screen capture, electronic passports, and automatic password managers as separate programs. With Max, they're free – just like Maxthon 2.1 itself.
Maxthon's so secure you can throw away that blanket.

- The built-in Ad Hunter blocks harmful, or just irritating ads, images and pages.
- Filter packs screen out offensive and irritating Web pages, and you decide what's offensive and irritating.
