Glimpse the browser that promises to unite the Internet

Glimpse the browser that promises to unite the Internet. The upcoming new version of Maxthon will automatically switch between the Trident rendering engine that displays Web pages for Internet Explorer, and WebKit, which Chrome and Safari use.

Want to hear how the fans of one program racked up half a million votes out of a total of 2 million divided among 100 products —- and in the process brought down the computer counting the votes? Ask Ron White at the Maxthon booth.  It’s a great story about what true fanship can do.

And, pick up the white papers that tell how and why research firms get browsers mixed up, leading to statistics that get pretty wobbly.  Oh, and they’re called “White papers” because they’re written by Ron White, author of “How Computers Work,” and an expert at explaining the why behind technology.

They’re No. 6 and proud of it. Maxthon didn’t make the first page of the Choice Screen that will be used to select a default browser for Windows in Europe.  But it did come in 6th place, a short hair behind Opera, and the folks at Maxthon are happy to be there considering that a few months ago, Maxthon didn’t officially exist, as far as the research companies go.
