Yeah, but try running the IE Test page demos… Most are not supported, so what’s up with that ?
Plus, in Sunspider, on a fast i5 2500 at least, some tests show 0 ms (NaN), which is an error… So it’s got the fastest time, but it doesn’t run the full real test.
Mx3 runs a custom WebKit core but I have my suspicions that it’s not up-to-date at heart (not based on the 536.x branch, etc.)
Nice info, Shane, but still, what’s the point in posting html5 test screens and bragging about its amazing conformance ? That’s what I don’t get, it’s even posted in their forums. HTML5test.com only queries the browser capabilities, IIUC, but doesn’t run even the most basic test to check these capabilities, making its relevance somewhat limited.
That’s true. Most of the time Maxthon suffers from rendering/layout bugs even though it uses WebKit, meaning it may support HTML5 standards but it may not support them correctly.
Hmmm, may give Maxthon a shot again. It seems to have come a long way and is competing with Opera when it comes to being the most complete web browser upon installation. It certainly has a better address bar as far as I recall!
Yeah, Opera 11.60 ruined the address bar.
Apparently they’re fixing it since a lot of people complained. It better be as good as Firefox’s or Maxthon’s.
why is Google Chrome still the NO.1 listed on the site?
Look its Opera Maxthon
Apart from what I mentioned earlier, what else warrants such a comment with regard to Opera and Maxthon?
Cant I caption the obvious?
I a likening it to a Opera clone (UI) whilst you compare the features.
So just the UI, huh? Kk.
Maxthon 3.3 web browser is really done a great jobs.Its works nice for html 5.
Remember this is beta, and you are comparing with Google Chrome stable…
