Maxthon is not Internet Explorer

One thing you guys miss in benchmarking Javascript is the fact that Maxthon does not use Internet Explorer's Javascript engine. Maxthon developers created their own interpreter for their browser.

So these benchmarks comparing I.E. to Chrome and other WebKit browsers are interesting in their own right, but they may or may not be accurately applied to Maxthon.

And FYI, early next year, Maxthon will release Max-3, an automatic hybrid browser that will in most instances automatically switch between rendering using Trident and rendering via WebKit.

Welcome to TechIMO!

Not that I closely follow Maxthon development, but I am not aware of Maxthon ever having developed an its own JavaScript engine. Sure you are not talking about SFX instead?

I am aware of Maxthon implementing Webkit, which offers SquirrelFish Extreme (SFX) for JavaScript. I suspect SFX could be what you are referencing, and yes, it is a radical performance difference from the JavaScript engine used by MSHTML.
