Maxthon plugins are known to be able to use features which are normally restricted in regular embeded page script. However, even a plugin has it's limitations. One of those limitations is working with the WMI interface. There is however a method to get around this limitation. Plugins are allowed to use most all ActiveX objects, and two of the most commonly used are the Windows Script Host and the

Pfew, it's been a hectic week. Not only did I started moderating the Dutch Maxthon forum, but I also got invited to moderate the Maxthon 2.0 Preview section on the official Maxthon forum. The 'job' itself isn't that demanding, but nevertheless you get drawn into it and find yourself spending more time than you planned on.I also started on a Dutch translation for Maxthon 2.0, which is coming along

Some time ago Neo101 posted some links on his blog to a webpage he made, listing most of the new features including screenshots. So people who don't yet have the Maxthon 2.0 preview can still see what is new in the 2.0 version, and existing Maxthon 2.0 users can check if they've found all the new features. He also made a little FAQ.

LOL, I just had to post about this, many of you are probably familiar with the name Chris Pirillo. Well, some weeks ago he published a list of top 10 IE7 annoyances. Quite a funny and revealing read, and he makes no secret of the fact he is a Maxthon fan too.Despite these snags, IE7 is certainly a better Web browser than IE6. I’m not even close to switching from Maxthon 1.x (though I don’t like

Those of you worrying about one day waking up to discover their IE6 installation has been replaced by IE7 can rest assured. Apart from offering you three choices in the setup introscreen "Install," "Don't Install" and "Ask Me Later.", Microsoft also released a blocker toolkit for IT administrators.The Internet Explorer 7 Blocker Toolkit enables IT Administrators to disable automatic delivery of

Talk about crooked logic, this guy obviously doesn't have the faintest clue about right and wrong. In the VNU article this guy was quoted as having said:"However, the staff member who spoke out questioned Apple's decision. 'My only question is, if we all lied and denied it would we still be working at Apple today? Even more so, is that the kind of person that Apple wants working for them?'"WTF

Now this is a must-have plugin if you use del.icio.us. This sidebar by neo101 can totally replace the need to keep using the standard favorites bar in both Maxthon 1 and Maxthon 2. It shows all your deli.cio.us bookmarks in a tree structure with the tags forming the folders. It has a quick-add button to add the current page to your del.icio.us bookmarks. Additonally it offers a 'find as you type'

Ryan over at CyberNotes wrote a small first impression about the Maxthon 2 browser with some screenshots. Sadly he had some problems because he could not see the refresh button turning in to a stop button (they are combined) which made him think there was none. But at least he's fair in acknowledging the fact it is still a preview and therefore not yet feature complete.

For those of you Dutch Maxthon lovers out there having problems expressing themselves in a foreign language, you can now all flock together in a new Dutch forum at Smokey's.
