Products Coming out of Maxthon R&D Center will be Cross platform and Useable by Business Partners to Provide One-stop Service

Chen Xiao Xu. Director of the new Maxthon R&D Center, said strong competition led Maxthon to create the center, which will push to create more new technologies to meet the challengers of completion.

Giving a speech at the ZOL Software Summit 2009 about the technological issues surrounding browsers, Chen admitted that Maxthon has encountered problem coming from the competition posed by rivals. Chen, also known by the name Huipk in the development world, said that competitive pressure led to the establishment of the Maxthon R&D Center, which was announced last week by Jeff Chen, CEO of the Beijing-based Maxthon International.

“First, product development must be backed up by technology,” Hulpk said. “Second, cross-platform strategy requires even greater technology support.”

He said that Maxthon currently has “a pretty good” market share in Russia. To grow that international business to the point where it can compete globally, in 2009 Maxthon shifted from competing solely for market share to competing also for technology. The biggest browser R&D center in China was established to ensure high standard of Maxthon’s core technology.

Speaking of future development of Maxthon, the center’s director said that Maxthon has already deployed an independent browser engine in Maxthon 3.x, and will inject more resources to develop Maxthon 3.x alongside the Internet-based Maxthon 2.x.

“A Browser is a platform. Maxthon is willing to more openly connect websites to people, and connect people to people, he said. “Maxthon will explore new areas in the development community, and work together with business partners to provide Internet users one stop service.”
