![]() ‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks.’ ![]() It makes me wonder if something disingenuous is going on. It doesn't take a degree in 'Applied Bollocks' to grasp this. As anyone downloading it would almost certainly be aware of the fact that it is actually an older release. If it is just an older release but doesn't have any security or compatibility problems it shouldn't need any kind of nag screen or dropdown in the browser itself to consistently remind you that it is an older version. If it is actually obsolete (Released sic) and poses any kind of security/compatibility risk or problem it shouldn't actually be made available for download. There's no need for a histrionic banner stating that the browser is actually obsolete. This fact, or whether the browser is indeed dangerously outdated and incompatible or not, isn't made plain or obvious even at a kindergarten level on the Mx4 download page. So this could (and certainly appears to be) an entirely normal long term release cycle. Furthermore, in the past, versions of Maxthon have gone long periods of time before eventual upgrading. Historically it was not unusual to have two or more stable Maxthon releases concomitantly. Mx4 is still available for download and you can see its availability quite plainly on its respective web page. ![]() "For all the talk of hand holding etc, apparently now we need a great big banner stating that MX4 is obsolete, even though there's a link to "Maxthon5", MX4 hasn't been updated for over a year, the release notes menu shows both MX5 and MX4.9 and almost everyone after kindergarten knows that 5 comes after 4."
