Maxnote
Collect knowledge from any webpage.
You can take notes and synchronize them across different platforms at any time with Maxnote. You can collect any information you want, such as web addresses, pictures, and text, into Maxnote while browsing the web. With a powerful ordering feature and the ability to create unlimited folders, Maxnote lets you easily build your knowledge library.
Passkeeper
Autofill login details and payment info
Passkeeper helps you save usernames and passwords for different sites. This allows the browser to fill in the login details. Your credit card payment information will be saved securely, and with your permission.
Split screen
The browser displays two pages in 2 columns.
Using split-screen mode, two web pages can be viewed side by side. Tabs can be easily moved between the left and right sides of the screen. Both pages remain active, allowing you to compare them directly or use one as a reference while working on the other.
Resource sniffer
Automatically discover web resources’ addresses.
From the currently open webpage, the resource sniffer can collect URLs for images, videos, music, and other file types. You can find and download the files as needed. The resource sniffer is only available in the desktop version.
Snapshot
Maxthon includes two methods for capturing your screen. With the ‘Snap Screen’ feature, you can select the area you want to capture using a selection box; press Ctrl+F1 to access this feature. The ‘Snap Page’ option saves the entire web page as an image. Screen snap is only available in the desktop version.
Maxthon offers a range of powerful features, including exceptional performance and a strong commitment to privacy. Its built-in functions can significantly enhance your productivity. For example, Quick Send makes sharing web addresses and files between devices easy, while Screenshot helps capture specific regions or full web pages. Maxnote lets you manage your knowledge base anytime, anywhere.
Maxthon prioritizes privacy by not tracking personal behavior. It also integrates Web3 with a built-in VBox blockchain wallet for cryptocurrency payments.
Maxthon allows you to import bookmarks from other browsers. To do this, export your bookmarks from your current browser and locate the “Import HTML bookmarks” option in Settings > General.
As we all know, Chrome, Edge, and other browsers record your activity, analyze your browsing history and search data, and use it to deliver personalized recommendations or support various use cases. Although such records are anonymous, they are still an invasion of privacy.
The Maxthon browser protects your privacy by storing browsing and search records on your device without uploading them to any server. When you log in to your Maxthon account, your bookmarks, notes, passwords, form-filling information, and settings will be encrypted and synced to the server for convenience. This information remains secure because Maxthon does not access, analyze, or share it with third parties.
