YouTube downloader worked pretty well, although from the list of avaialble files it doesn't give you much information. Just that it's an FLV file. You then get to guess which one is which. Anyway, it downloaded without any difficulty. Prefer YoutubeDownloader HD, but nice to see this functionality integrated into a browser.

@freakazoid I doubt it includes both engines as it will just use the IE engine that is on the Windows you are running it on.
@veekay And? Firefox has had the capability of using Dual engines for a long long time with it's IE Tab add on. From there on you can add whatever features you want.

Maxthon has several advantages over other browsers, and while FF is best for using at home and elsewhere (especially due to its lack of support for activex and thousands of popular addons), I personally recommend Maxthon Portable for use in a corporate environment.
Maxthon has dual engines - Webkit (the same lightning-fast engine used by Google Chrome) and Trident (an IE-compatible mode). It has a lot of nice (and powerful) options out of the box (such as speed dial, shortcut URL keys, mouse gestures, magic fill, ad hunter, flash video saver, multi-search-engines, integrated notepad, RSS feed reader, etc). This means that for working with Intranet sites in your office, this is a perfect browser, since many of those sites work well only in IE (but may not in Firefox or other browsers), but we know IE doesn't have much of flexibility (thought recent versions have made it more appealing). For instance, many advanced features in Sharepoint seem to work well only in IE (and hence will work well in Maxthon), and we all know how big a market Sharepoint is gaining in the corporate world. Even more complex apps such SAP BusinessObjects (BO) work perfectly in Webkit mode in Maxthon (even though BO has issues with IE9).
So the dual-engine of Maxton is not a gimmick, it is a perfect solution to have speed (webkit) with site-compatibility (trident/IE). Maxthon Passport is an online feature to store your bookmarks and profile settings, so you can also access your favorite bookmarks even in a cybercafe or hotel while travelling, even if you don't want to carry Maxthon Portable on a USB stick.
The only things I miss are some of the advanced features (such as URL alias and mouse-gestures for magic fill) that were available in the older Maxthon 1.x, which made it one of the best tools for any office PC. Hopefully these features will added to Maxthon3 soon, I know its devs are working towards that.

I have no idea, as I don't use it myself ;) I guess the advantage is on-the-fly engine switching without having to open another browser.

OK. Is that a gimmik or is there a real advantage in having two engines?
