![]() That’s probably because people stay away from it since they were caught sharing their user’s sensitive information with Chinese servers. Caught sharing sensitive data over an unencrypted connection For example, the extension center does not use HTTPS which is just utterly insane and gives me a headache. Just like the home page, other pages are not encrypted, on any internet browser for that matter (unless your browser forces HTTPS). ![]() The home page even has advertisements generated from the Google AdSense program and uses Google search which one would assume is their competitor. ![]() I. is entirely engulfed in tracking cookies as shown in the image above. A webpage that does not utilize a security certificate and HTTPS puts you at risk and leaves you vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. For a browser that promotes itself as “secure”, it certainly doesn’t take being secure very seriously. When you first install MX5, sign up, and launch the browser you will be taken to. i. is not encrypted and tracks the life out of you ![]() Additionally, this review is not sponsored by Maxthon. Whether or not that changes the outcome of the review is unknown, but it’s something to keep in mind. If you look around the web for MX5 reviews you’ll notice that most of them, if not all, are sponsored by Maxthon Maxthon paid the content creators and websites to review their product or offered them an upgrade in their VIP Program (that ended on Septem– before the browser was publically launched). Maxthon calls MX5 the fastest web browser available which is a very bold and possibly false statement. Maxthon’s MX5 browser is promoted as a fast and secure web browser for Windows, Android, iOS, macO, and other platforms. Their newest browser is a sleek looking internet browser called MX5, or MX5 Cloud Browser. While its compatibility with certain less common aspects of the HTML5 specification is somewhat lacking, it's easily able to cope with the majority of websites without complaint.Maxthon is a 13-year-old company that has been making internet browsers since they stepped foot on this planet. If there's one thing to take away from this test, it's this: the stock Android browser is capable, able to hold its head up with the best of them in the performance stakes. Bottom of the table was, again, Skyfire, with its unique approach to rendering content docking a few points with a total of 294 out of 500. Maxthon and the stock Android browser both scored an identical 312 points, while Dolphin slipped behind with 307. The remainder of the browsers on test proved somewhat middling in their support for the HTML5 standard. With Firefox scoring 388, however, Google will have its work cut out not to be surpassed in future releases. This is right up there, and significantly better than the stock Android browser's 312 - providing a clear idea of where Google is focusing its efforts with browser development. Just edged out of the top spot is Google's Chrome, which scores 390 points.
