Maxthon Nitro is a trimmed, speedier version of the very popular Maxthon Cloud Browser. This version has been stripped down to bare necessities of browsing in order to provide an unparalleled launch. Maxthon 5. Maxthon Cloud Browser (previously known as MyIE2) is a free web browser that has improved a lot in its latest versions. It now has a unique and innovative multi-core processor design that can utilize Webkit and Trident. Developed and improved to be quicker and more efficient, Maxthon Cloud Browser allows users to share and send files easily between different platforms and devices, made possible by the cloud. Maxthon Cloud Browser also supports search synchronization and tabs that open up automatically according to the current user. The search by tabs unites several interesting features, including the possibility to perform actions via movements of the mouse, to speed up the visualization of webpages by using Maxthon Smart Acceleration, and to get rid of inconvenient banners with the help of Ad Hunter. Remembering a URL isn't necessary when using Maxathon, as it allows you to create what's known as a URL Alias: you give any name you want to a webpage and can later access it by using this nickname. With Maxthon, you won't lose time filling out forms since it has an autocomplete tool called Magic Fill that is capable of recognizing almost all the fields that need to be filled in. Maxthon Cloud Browser has also integrated an RSS reader. Still more, Maxthon has developed anti-freeze techniques, which makes the navigator keep responding when AJAX or Javascript code is run. Screenshots, an effective drag and drop system, and a an online favorites section are some of the other interesting characteristics of Maxthon. Maxthon 6.1.2.1801 Beta / 6.1.2.1000 (Chromium Browser) Maxthon 6 is a state-of-the-art, multi-platform, first Bitcoin powered web browser. It regularly outperforms other top browsers and offers users a seamless browsing and sharing experience. Maxthon 6 is a new browser designed and developed by Maxthon USA Inc, which chooses Chromium as the new kernel. MX6 is a different product line from Maxthon 5. It is not an upgrade of MX5 and will operate independently. Maxthon Browser is a 20-year-old veteran browser. In early days of the Internet, it continued to innovate to improve the user experience and created a number of popular features, such as. – how many people still remember the fear of desktop being filled with web pages Gestures – create efficiency and comfort in the jamming of older mice with long tails – how many engineers are relying on this function to explore the way of website development in the early time sync- Bookmarks no longer need to be copied with a U disk. As time goes by, Maxthon browser has been making great progress. In past 20 years, there are five major versions and tens of thousands minor versions, paving the way for maxthon browser from the 1970s to the 2000s span several generations of user groups. Inheritance. As a browser brand that lasts for 20 years, MX6 not only inherits the features that users like in previous versions, but also your personal data, such as bookmarks, notes and passwords can be directly imported from the historical version into the new browser through Maxthon account to achieve seamless connection. Compatibility. For the upcoming era of technology explosion, MX6 chose the Chromiun open-source kernel as the foundation. On one hand, relying on Chromiun’s strong technical background and iterative speed, it builds a more secure, faster and stable platform for all Maxthon users. On the other hand, it provides a more powerful compatible platform for the new generation of web applications through Chrome addons library. Technology. Maxthon 6 provides a convenient entrance for users to integrate into new technology, without losing inheritance and compatibility. In the latest version, MX6 will separately develop a blockchain module to provide technical support for the popularity of blockchain applications. Better performance, faster response. Compared with the MX5 browser, MX6 is much faster. Especially opening multiple tabs, its loading capacity and less RAM usage are more prominent. Let’s look at feedback from test groups. Smooth data import, good browser inheritance. Maxthon 6 is a different product line from MX5. The data of Maxthon 5 and Maxthon 6 cannot be synced, but MX6 can synchronize your data through the cloud. In MX6, you can synchronize your data from the local database to the cloud. If your Maxthon account has used and retained data in previous versions of Maxthon, these data will be automatically synced to your MX6 when syncing the data for the first time. After that, if you want to use both browsers, the data will not be synced but will be synchronized separately under their product lines. Of course, if you want to import MX5 data into MX6 in stages, you can also use the Import/Export user data function. MX6 team may provide a more convenient function to meet users’ needs in different scenarios. Separate Bookmarks and Maxnote. Maxnote in the Maxthon 5 browser has always been a controversial product. Some users think the Maxnote is easy to use; while some users who are used to the traditional favorites feel a bit uncomfortable. To balance the two kinds of user experience, MX6 coexists with Bookmarks and Maxnote. If you like Maxnote, please continue to enjoy it. If you like traditional favorites, please use the “Bookmark” function. When you use MX6 for the first time, it will automatically import the URLs marked as favorites in Maxnote into Bookmarks. User’s affirmation and expectation for Maxthon 6. Maxthon 6 chooses the Chromium open-source kernel as the foundation. Chromium kernel is famous for a series of features such as security, fluency and stability. MX6 inherits these features and fully supports the Chrome addons library.

  • How and Why Do I Clear a Web Browser's Cache? When a Web
    How and Why Do I Clear a Web Browser’s Cache? When a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, or Safari) is used to visit a website, the browser “caches” (stores) information regarding the site (e.g. items or pages viewed, listened to, or purchased), so the browser doesn’t have to retrieve the information from the original location every time the same page or file is accessed. This helps speed a web search. IMPORTANT TIP: It is important to “clear the cache” and, sometimes, a web browser’s “history” in order to avoid error messages when accessing sites or loading software. Now that many applications, such as Datatel UIWeb, WebAdvisor, and Live 25, used here at WSU are web-based, this has become an occasional issue. Web browsers usually are set to allow only a specific amount of storage for the cached “temporary Internet files”. If the specified limit is reached, error messages might prevent a user from accessing a desired site or web-based application. While visiting a web site, a “cookie” is created by the browser and stored on a user’s computer. Cookies store information about the user, such as login information for the site, selected shopping items, and provides the information to the website visited. Each visited web address is stored in the web browser’s “history”. The user can return to a site from the browser’s history list (log) or create a bookmark to easily return to a site. Browsers usually clear a computer’s cache and history, periodically, but it is good idea to clear cache, cookies, and history, manually when having a problem with a browser or when installing certain types of computer software if you don’t already do this procedure on a routine basis.

  • Maxthon Has Announced the Release of Maxthon Cloud Browser (Preview
    December 12, 2012 Maxthon has announced the release of Maxthon Cloud Browser (preview), which it says is designed to provide users with a seamless and unified user experience across multiple devices and platforms. Maxthon Cloud Browser works on Windows, OS X, iOS and Android (an iPad version is promised to be coming soon), and goes beyond simply syncing bookmarks to enable users to access and push web content such as images, videos and text to and from their other devices. I downloaded the OS X version on Monday and have been giving it a good workout. Essentially, it’s mostly Maxthon 3, which I already liked a lot on the Mac, although I’ve been less enthralled by the iPad version, which shares the disadvantage common to other third-party iOS browsers in that Apple obliges developers to use its proprietary browser engine, with the result in most instances being slower performance than with Apple’s system-integrated Safari browser, and no browser other than Safari can be designated default browser in the iOS. Booooooo. However, Maxthon Cloud Browser for OS X (effectively Maxthon 4) is satisfyingly speedy, and I’ve thus far found it completely stable, even though it’s a preview. “This rollout of Maxthon Cloud Browser marks a significant step for Maxthon in our development of a cloud-powered browser that integrates full-featured cloud services,” said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. “It is our mission and the focus of our innovation in this post-PC era when people are using multiple devices to access information, to lead the browser industry in giving users the ability to move effortlessly between their devices without any interruption in their browsing experience.

  • Appendix. Optimizing Software and Operating Systems to Display Bgn/Pcgn-Approved Geographical Names
    APPENDIX. OPTIMIZING SOFTWARE AND OPERATING SYSTEMS TO DISPLAY BGN/PCGN-APPROVED GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES (Note: The following instructions are taken from the documentation of the Unicode Consortium (www.unicode.org), and are reproduced here for information purposes only, in support of the Unicode standard.) If you are unable to read some Unicode characters in your browser, it may be because your system is not properly configured. Here are some basic instructions for doing that. There are two basic steps: • Install fonts that cover the characters you need • Configure your browser to use them. FONTS Ideally, you will install fonts that are tuned for the scripts that you need, then also install a full Unicode font as a backup. The following describes how to get fonts for different platforms: you can also find other fonts at: www.unicode.org/onlinedat/resources.html. WINDOWS For Windows XP, getting additional languages installed is as follows: Start > Settings > Control Panel> Regional Options and Language Options. In the Languages tab, check the Supplemental language support option(s) you want. Setting both options will install all optional fonts. This adds fonts as well as system support for these languages. For Windows 2000, getting additional languages installed is as follows: Start > Settings > Control Panel> Regional Options. In the General tab, set all the languages you may want to display, the more you set, the more you will be able to pro- cess multilingual data through all your applications, including your browser. This adds fonts as well as system sup- port for these languages. Full fonts: If you have Microsoft Office 2000 and newer versions, you can get the Arial Unicode MS font, which is the most com- plete.

  • Design Issues for World Wide Web Navigation Visualisation Tools
    Design Issues for World Wide Web Navigation Visualisation Tools Andy Cockburny Steve Jonesyx Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury University of Waikato Christchurch, New Zealand Hamilton, New Zealand [email protected] [email protected] +64 3 364 2987 ext 7768 +64 7 838 4490 Abstract The World Wide Web (WWW) is a successful hypermedia information space used by millions of people, yet it suffers from many deficiencies and problems in support for navigation around its vast information space. In this paper we identify the origins of these navigation problems, namely WWW browser design, WWW page design, and WWW page description languages. Regardless of their origins, these problems are eventually represented to the user at the browser’s user interface. To help overcome these problems, many tools are being developed which allow users to visualise WWW subspaces. We identify five key issues in the design and functionality of these visualisation systems: characteristics of the visual representation, the scope of the subspace representation, the mechanisms for generating the visualisation, the degree of browser independence, and the navigation support facilities. We provide a critical review of the diverse range of WWW visualisation tools with respect to these issues. Keywords World Wide Web; hypermedia navigation; design issues; visualisation. 1 Introduction With millions of users searching, browsing, and surfing the WWW, economies of scale are clearly relevant. Even a small inefficiency in user navigation within the WWW will result in enormous productivity losses if it is common to a fraction of WWW users. Our previous research has noted that users commonly have incorrect mental-models of even the most fundamental methods of WWW navigation, and has suggested interface mechanisms to ease the problems [CJ96].

  • The Making of Netscape
    The Making of Netscape This case was written by Professor Rajeev Kohli, Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation. 1 The Making of Netscape Marc Andreessen started working on the Mosaic web browser in 1992. He was a computer science student at the University of Illinois, but he spent a lot more time at the NCSA, the University’s supercomputing center, than he did in the classroom. “Working at NCSA was fascinating,” says Andreessen. “The super-computing program in the mid-1980's originated because the government thought it was crucial that a powerful computing infrastructure be provided for scientists. An interesting thing happened around 1990: all the supercomputing centers essentially stopped running supercomputers. They shut down the Crays. They could no longer afford to keep them running, especially with the advent of more cost efficient microprocessors. Since it no longer made sense to run a supercomputer, what do you do? And so networking quickly became a very big part of NCSA, the theory being that the next stage would be to link together everything -- especially scientists and educators who up until that point had been using the Crays. Networking had arrived so fast, and everything was happening so rapidly, that people just hadn't yet gotten around to making it accessible.” The Internet phenomenon had been gaining momentum for a decade, but its use was still limited to a small group of skilled programmers. “People had also been talking about hypertext for a long time, and it finally happened at NCSA,” says Andreessen.
