Works well until it falters. Having tried a few of the other Browsers, I migrated to Maxthon after a trial because it worked faultlessly. Then I had to update and use the Cloud version and for a while, all was well but as Saygun explains above, once it begins to falter, it's a pain in the neck!I tried updating from the 2001 version to v4000 but to no avail. It's a real shame because it's way ahead of the pack when it's working well.
