I have to say, I am a big firefox fan and I don't like how you compare firefox to maxthon.
First, I can see the relation considering tabbed browsing. But - all current browsers, except IE, supports tabbed browsing. Opera has supported tabbed browsing for years.
Secondly, and most important, the fact that it is built on the IE engine shouldn't be positive.
IE isn't more compatible with current websites, it's IE that is NOT compatible with current web standards (http, html, css, ++), and since IE has had such a high market share today, many websites are designed for IE users only.
And remember, webmasters, it would be a LOT easier to create websites today if all browsers supported web standards like the Gecko engine does (which is the rendering engine Firefox uses).
In addition I'm assuming this IE-based browser supports ActiveX, which is, by far, the highest security bottleneck exploited by web sites today.
I'm sorry if this reply seems bitchy, but I didn't like the way you compared and left firefox in your thread.
I know this is one of my first few posts and all on this board, but I hope some of you understand and don't get the impression I'm bitching
I'm gonna start look for an extension for Firefox which can autocomplete forms, and I bet it doesn't require much work to extend it so it can be a tool for submitting free sites / galleries for us submitters.
Have a great day folks
