New Features Include Music Silencer, a Really Useful ‘Blank’ Page
BEIJING, Sept. 16 — Maxthon International today released version 2.5.8 of its popular browser. The award-winning, free software may be downloaded at Maxthon Browser Download Center .
Many people listen to music when they surf the Internet, but unfortunately the experience is very often disturbed by other music and advertising pitches coming from Web pages. The new mute browser function in Maxthon 2.5.8 is made to solve this problem. By clicking the mute button in Maxthon’s status bar, all sounds from Web pages will be muted without affecting other applications. So, users can listen to music or surf late at night without worrying about any startling sounds bursting from their browsers.
An edit menu, a standard part of most software other than browsers, is being added to Maxthon. The menu provides the standard cut, copy and paste operations found in other programs.
A new login mechanism allows users to log in as in previous versions or to browse Web pages without logging in. When a user logs in, any changes in settings or favorites are automatically saved online. Later they can be retrieved to restore damaged settings or for use with someone else’s PC.
A clear history menu has been added to the search bar to provide users control over what information that has appeared in the search bar remains and what is deleted.
A new built-in feature, Quick Access, is similar to a plugin called Speed Dial that Maxthon users have had access to for several years. When a Web page would ordinarily be blank, Quick Access displays a sidebar containing some frequent and recently visited sites along with nine configurable sites shown in a grid of thumbnails.
The Float Button, which allows users to enlarge and save graphics, now has a Block Ads menu to block advertisements that manage to slip past Maxthon’s normal ad defenses.
A more comprehensive list of changes for developers is found on the Maxthon Changelog .

suggestions:
1. If you want to market your product (I have been using it for a few days and it looks nice)to “the world”, please ensure that your links, at least for the English sites,(i.e. http://addons.maxthon.com/en_US, etc.) are in english, not chinese.
2. Better Tab operations. I like the way firefox works. I can “overwrite” a page in the same tab that I am on or I can open a new page in the background (without using the mouse center wheel.
3. Add ability to move File, Edit View Groups… tabs to the left side of the screen.
Like I said, I am just starting to play with the browser. If you like, I can feed more comments.
Good luck,
Gary
