Maxthon è un browser web con doppio motore di rendering: Trident (Internet Explorer) e WebKit (Chrome e Safari).

La sua principale caratteristica consiste nel cosiddetto Tabbed Browsing, cioè la capacità di poter aprire più pagine nella stessa finestra, resa famosa da altri browser come Opera o Firefox.

Originariamente il nome del browser era MyIE2. Con il rilascio della versione 1.0 il suo nome è stato modificato appunto in Maxthon.
