Maxthon Cloud Browser

Image 1 of 5

Maxthon Cloud Browser is a powerful web browser, with a highly customisable interface. The browser has a stack of handy tools to make your time online that much more enjoyable, such as resource sniffer, screen capture tool, night mode and of course, cloud functionality. What really makes Maxthon stand out for us though, is how well it synchronises across multiple devices. Thanks to Cloud Syncing and Cloud Push, you can synchronise your bookmarks, tabs, options and your address bar and new-tab links – and even drag and drop images and send them to your phone contacts or an email address in a few clicks. Sweet!
