Maxthon 2 web browser released

Firefox and Internet Explorer get most of the attention, but they're not the only web browsers out there. There's also Safari, Opera, and Konqueror. But if you want to try a web browser that is guaranteed to work with every page designed for Internet Explorer without actually you know, using Internet Explorer, you might want to check out Maxthon.

Maxthon is based on Internet Explorer, so it uses the same rendering engine. But it has dozens of features you won't find in Microsoft's web browser. Maxthon 2 has just been released after a long beta period, and it includes a whole slew of updates.

Here are just a few of Maxthon's cooler features

• Completely skinnable interface
• Integrated Ad-blocker, popup blocker and content filter
  
• Support for mouse gestures (navigate forward, backward, or between tabs by right clicking and moving your mouse in various patterns)
• Drag a link to open it in a new tab
• Built in feed reader
