An IE-Based Tabbed Browser from China

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the adversity-breeds-strength dept.

wannabgeek writes "CNET reports that a new browser, Maxthon is gaining wide popularity in China. 14 percent of Chinese websurfers have used it ... Part of the reason, it has features that help in circumventing the Chinese government censors. CNET says it was shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this year, and is slowly gaining foothold in Europe as well as the U.S."

    Next update of Windows will prevent it (the browser) from running. No worries.

    Is timothy drunk today or something? We've got that crazy "VOiP users probably use Firefox" submission, and now we've got Shinese censorship from a browser that's not new at all (Maxthon has been around for quite a while).
