What do you think about Maxthon web browser?

I'm using Maxthon and I think, it's much better than IE. How about your opinion? How about Mozilla Firefox, Opera or any other web browser you are currently using?
Thanks for every opinion.

Never heard of it. I'm using Chrome at home and Firefox at work. I never hear people use IE anymore.

On my phone I either use Safari or Opera.

I've used it before. Pretty basic, didn't really offer me anything new, and completely fell apart when using drag and drop web features and uploads.

I used Maxthon 2.0 for a while until Chrome came out.

I will admit that IE 10 is quite impressive, but I still won't be switching over to it from Chrome any time soon.

On my desktop I've been using Firefox now for about 6 years and I love it

My smartphone works the best with Opera Mini though.

I've used Firefox for years. I am not as impressed with it lately as I was in the beginning. It seems that the malware makers and hackers have caught on to it. It is not as fast as it used to be, and I know for a fact that my computer keeps getting garbage in it that shouldn't be there. Just visiting ordinary pages, even a legit news site, can get you a bunch of stuff on your computer that you don't want. Just when you think you have them stopped, they still get you. I have been using an anti-scripting feature in Firefox to help speed it up, but the problem with that is that you are always having to give the page at least temporary permission or nothing works on the page. You just don't know what is or is not going to give your something you don't want. Often, it is the people making the fix that cause the problems, so that they can sell their fix. Keeps them employed. Frankly, I wish they had a law that actually made it a crime to create and distribute malware, spyware, etc.. And if it is already against the law, I wish they would actually enforce it. I'm sick of the way you buy a great computer and for a short time, it is super fast, and then in no time at all, it is showing obvious signs of being infected from speed robbing cookies, malware, spyware, etc... Not to mention the occasional virus or trojan that your safeguards don't catch. I tried Chrome a while back but wasn't overly impressed with it. What I always want first and foremost is speed. Little cool junk features that rob speed do not usually impress me.

In my opinion, the Browser that makes you think of it the less, is the best. From all the browsers I've used Opera and Chrome are the best in this regard i believe.

Chrome on my PC, Opera Mobile on my phone. I've had them all, including Maxthon for a few days.

As for security, I've used Norton Internet Security or Norton 360 for the last couple of years (zero problems) and I'm currently using AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2013 + Windows 7 Firewall (zero problems so far).

I tried using Chrome once, and I had Mozilla Firefox going at the same time. I found Mozilla was bring up the websites faster. So I took Chrome off the computer. I've used Mozilla Firefox for a long time now.
