Maxthon Fans: Ron White

Today I had the pleasure to meet with Ron White, former Executive Editior of PC Magazine and a longtime Maxthon user. Ron is probably the journalist that has best captured the spirit of Maxthon so far. He once wrote that

The first rule of Maxthon is, "Don't talk about Maxthon." If Firefox and Opera are underground favorites among Web surfers, then Maxthon must be the double-dog double-secret browser. Over the last four years, Maxthon has quietly developed a base of devoted -- and tight-lipped -- users who make the Illuminati seem like exhibitionists.

Ron is also the author of "How computers work"

New: Spread Maxthon Site

User love as good as it gets! Once user (Nitrogen) loves Maxthon so much that he decided to set up a Spread Maxthon site! He has already posted banners, a home made YouTube video on why Maxthon beast Firefox etc. This is not an official site (but there will be in the near future..;), however, what can be better than fan-sites spreading the word? Great job & keep it up!
