MyIE2 grew quickly, with contributions from users around the world in areas including plugins, skins and debugging. Jeff Chen continued development and released a new version, called MyIE2.
Changyou posted most of the code onto his BBS, before leaving the project in 2000. Maxthon was based on MyIE, originally created by Changyou, a Chinese programmer, who wanted to customize his Internet Explorer browser. Maxthon is reported to be the second most popular browser in China, and it has been downloaded more than 400 million times worldwide. Maxthon won its first WebWare 100 Award in 2005, and won the WebWare 100 Award also in 20. In January 2006, Maxthon developers partnered with Microsoft in its booth at the Consumer Electronics Show. Maxthon seeks to provide many rich features and a highly customizable interface, without losing any of the compatibility of Internet Explorer. Maxthon3, currently under beta testing, supports Trident and the WebKit engine. Maxthon2 uses theTrident layout engine, like Microsoft's Internet Explorer, while Classic Maxthon (Maxthon 1.x) continues to support both Trident and the Gecko engine used in Firefox.
From its early MyIE2 roots, Maxthon has developed a growing user base, especially in China, and in 2006 it received commercial backing for Maxthon 2.0. Maxthon is a China-based freeware (more specifically donateware) web browser for Windows.
