Maxthon 3 seems to be quick but so far no quicker then chrome IMO. I'm having trouble customizing the home screen the way I have my Chrome laid out but for right now anyway it's ok not good enough to replace Chrome. Hoax I get ya I'm sure you remember but when I started using chrome it was one of the obscure ones no ever heard of they all have to start somewhere. I remember when IE flooded the market and was free and go sued over that it changed the way we use the internet for ever and lead to the way we operate now. No more doing flash email because you were being charged by second to be on the internet how many remember those days.
