Maxthon (Chinese: 傲游浏览器, formerly named MyIE2) is a freeware web browser developed by the company Maxthon Ltd., based in Beijing, China. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as Maxthon Mobile for Android,iOS, and Windows Phone 8. As of version 3, Maxthon supports two web browser engines: WebKit and Trident.
Maxthon won CNET WebWare 100 Awards in 2008 and 2009, and was #97 in PCWorld's list of the 100 Best Products of 2011. In July 2016, concerns were raised regarding the browser's security weakness, when cybersecurity experts learned that it sends "ad blocker status, homepage URL, websites visited by the user (including online searches), and installed applications to a server in Beijing, China" via HTTP, leaving the user information "valuable for a malicious actor looking to conduct a targeted attack."
Maxthon is a Chinese company known mainly for producing web browsers for Windows. It is headquartered in Beijing, with offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and San Francisco, US. Most of Maxthon's engineers are based in the corporate headquarters in Beijing, which develops and maintains versions of the Maxthon browser for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.
Maxthon has also created other products including a Chinese language news and information portal i.maxthon.cn, a Chinese language casual gaming portal and humor website, a ‘Kid Safe’ web browser for Android and iOS, a free online account system named Maxthon Passport, and an English language news and information web portal i.maxthon.com.
