Synopsis: Maxthon is a tabbed browser based on the Internet Explorer rendering engine. It supports mouse gestures, ad-blocking, skinning and a built-in RSS reader sidebar. It also has privacy protection features. For example, you can erase browsing history, cookies, cache etc. with a single click, or configure the browser to clear them automatically when it closes.
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and above
How to extract: Download the installer and install to the default folder. Then copy all files (except MaxthonUINST.exe) to a folder of your choice. Finally, uninstall the program. Launch Maxthon.exe.

Note: I did not select "AI RoboForm Plugin" and the various sidebars during testing, so I am not sure if any of those external components/plugins are portable.
Stealth [?]: No
Unicode support: Yes. Be sure to select "Install Unicode Version" during installation.
License: Freeware
System Requirements: Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista

[Anonymous] BobIt sends off annoying jokes on the status bar. It once put a website address on the address bar without asking for my permission. I don't think it respects user's privacy.

GreenBrowser looks better.

[Anonymous] Suomy NonaThose annoying jokes can be turned off in the preferences. I never had it putting an address in the address bar by itself, and I've been using it for years. [2009-02-23 08:50]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
