Never heard of this browser, but others might have and the methods utilized (!) therein might well be better scrutinized by the coding populace out there to determine if any of the problems discovered thus far might be affecting other browsers as well.

NEVER trust the ChiComs!!!

All browsers send some data back to headquarters to identify the cause of crashes, etc. Google is definitely developing profiles of people through Chrome and with all their other applications. The question is what is the motivation of the people providing these types of free software and how much can you trust them. With google it is probably mostly about money. With the Chinese, maybe some other things too.

That said, just yesterday I was looking at buying a new router when I noticed a prior owner complaining that his router had been sending a lot of encrypted data to somewhere in Asia.

I use to use the Maxthon browser about a dozen years ago as they had tabbed browsing when IE and Firefox did not.
Now I use Firefox. I wonder who they are sending the data to?

I have been using Maxthon for years, even back when it had another name. I think it was created by some Chinese IT people back in the day as a competitor to Netscape. (Anyone remember Netscape?)

It developed a lot of very functional and even revolutionary user friendly features that other browsers later added to their platforms.

I’ll take this info to the user group and see what’s what.
