Maxthon Cloud Browser for Windows

Maxthon browser are not new on the market, and I use various versions successfully for many years, ever since I replaced outdated Internet Explorer on my desktop. However, the new cloud version, recently released, is worth to upgrade.

The new version, Maxthon Cloud Browser for Windows uses a unique, innovative dual-core design that uses both Webkit and Trident.

With its first-place HTML 5 support and ‘out of the box’ features you can‘t get anywhere else, Maxthon Cloud Browser for Windows frees people to share and send files among different devices and platforms, easily.

Using Roboform

Getting used to Roboform accounts manager, I cannot consider the browser, which does not support this adds-on. Fortunately, Maxthon Cloud allows using it. It might not appear on the default install, however you may be confident that it works properly with Maxthon Cloud in the same manner in Trident (retro) mode. As soon as you switch to the Retro mode, you will see the lower toolbar (which is Roboform default) at the bottom of the page, if toolbar option is activated in Roboform settings.
