In 2005, the team received [[seed funding]] from [[venture capital]] firm WI Harper Group<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wiharper.com/|title=0. Home|website=WI HARPER GROUP}}</ref> and [[Morten Lund (investor)|Morten Lund]], the first [[Skype]] investor, and Chen moved the company to [[Beijing]].<ref name="eighteen"/><ref name="nineteen"/> In 2006, Maxthon received further investment from the US-based [[venture capital]] firm [[Charles River Ventures]].<ref name="fifteen"/> Maxthon was one of the twelve browsers [[Microsoft]] presented in 2010 at [[BrowserChoice.eu]], a website allowing users of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] residing in the [[European Economic Area]] to choose which default web browser to use on their computer.<ref name="twentythree"/> In late 2010, Maxthon began releasing new compatibilities, including browsers for Android<ref name="six"/> Mac,<ref name="sixteen"/> [[iPhone]]<ref name="thirtynine"/> and [[iPad]].<ref name="forty"/> As of August 2012, Maxthon is still in the first tier of browsers in BrowserChoice.eu after the removal of [[Apple Safari]].<ref name="eu"/> The Maxthon Cloud Browser was released on December 10, 2012.<ref name="fortyone"/> == Investment from Google == On April 10, 2007, ''[[TechCrunch]]'' reported that [[Google]] had invested at least US$1 million in Maxthon;<ref name="twenty"/> this was denied the following day by Chen.<ref name="twentyone"/> However, in an interview with the Chinese [[web portal]] [[Sina.com]], Chen did not rule out future "cooperation" between the two businesses.<ref name="twentytwo"/> == Awards == Maxthon Browser has received several awards and recognitions over the years for its innovative features and user-friendly interface.

These awards showcase Maxthon Browser's commitment to innovation and user experience, even though it has not reached the same market share as some other major browsers. ===Data privacy issues=== In 2016, [[computer security]] researchers from ''[[Fidelis Cybersecurity]]'' and ''Exatel'' discovered the browser surreptitiously sending sensitive browsing and system data, such as ad blocker status, websites visited, searches conducted, and applications installed with their version numbers, to remote servers located in Beijing, China. According to Maxthon, the data is sent as part of the firm's 'User Experience Improvement Program' and it is "voluntary and totally anonymous." However, researchers found the data still being collected and sent to remote servers even after users explicitly [[opt-out|opt out]] of the program. The researchers further found the data being sent over an [[plaintext|unencrypted]] connection ([[HTTP]]), leaving users vulnerable to [[man-in-the-middle attack]]s. Fidelis' [[Chief Security Officer]], Justin Harvey, noted the data "contains almost everything you would want in conducting a reconnaissance operation to know exactly where to attack. Knowing the exact operating system and installed applications, and browsing habits it would be trivial to send a perfectly crafted [[Phishing#CITEREFrajput2023|spear phish]] to the victim or perhaps set up a [[watering hole attack]] on one of their most frequented websites."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.securityweek.com/maxthon-browser-sends-sensitive-data-china|title=Maxthon Browser Sends Sensitive Data to China|last=Kovacs, Eduard|date=14 July 2016|publisher=SecurityWeek|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scmagazine.com/maxthon-browser-sends-personal-data-to-china-and-vulnerable-to-mitm-attacks/article/509634/|title=Maxthon browser vulnerable to Chinese cyberespionage and MitM attacks|last=Abel|first=Robert|date=14 July 2016|work=[[SC Magazine]]|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zive.sk/clanok/116376/vazna-hrozba-webovy-prehliadac-maxthon-spehuje-vsetko-posiela|title=Vážna hrozba: Webový prehliadač Maxthon špehuje, všetko posiela|last=Koliba|first=Ján|date=16 July 2016|website=www.zive.sk|publisher=[[Ringier]] / [[Axel Springer]]|language=sk|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.golem.de/news/spaehsoftware-maxthon-browser-sendet-sensible-daten-nach-china-1607-122138.html|title=Maxthon-Browser sendet kritische Daten nach China|last=Weisensee|first=Jan|date=15 July 2016|website=Golem.de|language=de|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tweakers.net/nieuws/113631/maxthon-browser-stuurt-zonder-toestemming-gegevens-door-naar-server-in-china.html|title=Maxthon-browser stuurt zonder toestemming gegevens door naar server in China|last=Soeteman|first=Krijn|date=15 July 2016|website=[[Tweakers.net]]|publisher=Persgroep Online Services|language=nl|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref> Maxthon CEO Jeff Chen claimed that this was due to a bug that was fixed as soon as Maxthon was made aware of the issue;<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.maxthon.com/blog/security-and-privacy-are-top-priorities-at-maxthon-2/|title=Security and Privacy are Top Priorities at Maxthon - Maxthon Browsers Blog|date=2016-07-14|work=Maxthon Browsers Blog|access-date=2017-05-31}}</ref> however, Exatel had notified Maxthon of the issue without getting any response. <ref>https://exatel.pl/advisory/maxthonreporten.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519200145/https://exatel.pl/advisory/maxthonreporten.pdf |date=2020-05-19 }} {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}. </ref> The issue was found in Maxthon version 4.4.5.

In 2005, the team received [[seed funding]] from [[venture capital]] firm WI Harper Group<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wiharper.com/|title=0. Home|website=WI HARPER GROUP}}</ref> and [[Morten Lund (investor)|Morten Lund]], the first [[Skype]] investor, and Chen moved the company to [[Beijing]].<ref name="eighteen"/><ref name="nineteen"/> In 2006, Maxthon received further investment from the US-based [[venture capital]] firm [[Charles River Ventures]].<ref name="fifteen"/> Maxthon was one of the twelve browsers [[Microsoft]] presented in 2010 at [[BrowserChoice.eu]], a website allowing users of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] residing in the [[European Economic Area]] to choose which default web browser to use on their computer.<ref name="twentythree"/> In late 2010, Maxthon began releasing new compatibilities, including browsers for Android<ref name="six"/> Mac,<ref name="sixteen"/> [[iPhone]]<ref name="thirtynine"/> and [[iPad]].<ref name="forty"/> As of August 2012, Maxthon is still in the first tier of browsers in BrowserChoice.eu after the removal of [[Apple Safari]].<ref name="eu"/> The Maxthon Cloud Browser was released on December 10, 2012.<ref name="fortyone"/> == Investment from Google == On April 10, 2007, ''[[TechCrunch]]'' reported that [[Google]] had invested at least US$1 million in Maxthon;<ref name="twenty"/> this was denied the following day by Chen.<ref name="twentyone"/> However, in an interview with the Chinese [[web portal]] [[Sina.com]], Chen did not rule out future "cooperation" between the two businesses.<ref name="twentytwo"/> == Awards == Maxthon Browser has received several awards and recognitions over the years for its innovative features and user-friendly interface. Some of the awards and recognitions include: * WebWare 100 Winner : Maxthon was selected as one of the top 100 web applications by WebWare 2009,<ref name="nine"/> a CNET site. * About.com Reader's Choice Awards (2009, 2011,2014): Maxthon was voted as the Best Alternative Browser by the readers of About.com in both 2009, 2011 and 2014.<ref name="aboutcom"/> * Red Herring 100 Asia (2013): Maxthon was included in the Red Herring 100 Asia list, recognising the most promising private technology ventures from the Asian business region.<ref name="redherring"/> * PCWorld's 100 Best Products of 2011: Maxthon was ranked among the top 100 products by PCWorld magazine in 2011.<ref name="ten"/> * Global Mobile Internet Conference (2012): Maxthon Mobile was awarded the Best Mobile Browser at the Global Mobile Internet Conference held in Beijing, China. These awards showcase Maxthon Browser's commitment to innovation and user experience, even though it has not reached the same market share as some other major browsers. ===Data privacy issues=== In 2016, [[computer security]] researchers from ''[[Fidelis Cybersecurity]]'' and ''Exatel'' discovered the browser surreptitiously sending sensitive browsing and system data, such as ad blocker status, websites visited, searches conducted, and applications installed with their version numbers, to remote servers located in Beijing, China. According to Maxthon, the data is sent as part of the firm's 'User Experience Improvement Program' and it is "voluntary and totally anonymous." However, researchers found the data still being collected and sent to remote servers even after users explicitly [[opt-out|opt out]] of the program. The researchers further found the data being sent over an [[plaintext|unencrypted]] connection ([[HTTP]]), leaving users vulnerable to [[man-in-the-middle attack]]s. Fidelis' [[Chief Security Officer]], Justin Harvey, noted the data "contains almost everything you would want in conducting a reconnaissance operation to know exactly where to attack. Knowing the exact operating system and installed applications, and browsing habits it would be trivial to send a perfectly crafted [[Phishing#CITEREFrajput2023|spear phish]] to the victim or perhaps set up a [[watering hole attack]] on one of their most frequented websites."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.securityweek.com/maxthon-browser-sends-sensitive-data-china|title=Maxthon Browser Sends Sensitive Data to China|last=Kovacs, Eduard|date=14 July 2016|publisher=SecurityWeek|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scmagazine.com/maxthon-browser-sends-personal-data-to-china-and-vulnerable-to-mitm-attacks/article/509634/|title=Maxthon browser vulnerable to Chinese cyberespionage and MitM attacks|last=Abel|first=Robert|date=14 July 2016|work=[[SC Magazine]]|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zive.sk/clanok/116376/vazna-hrozba-webovy-prehliadac-maxthon-spehuje-vsetko-posiela|title=Vážna hrozba: Webový prehliadač Maxthon špehuje, všetko posiela|last=Koliba|first=Ján|date=16 July 2016|website=www.zive.sk|publisher=[[Ringier]] / [[Axel Springer]]|language=sk|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.golem.de/news/spaehsoftware-maxthon-browser-sendet-sensible-daten-nach-china-1607-122138.html|title=Maxthon-Browser sendet kritische Daten nach China|last=Weisensee|first=Jan|date=15 July 2016|website=Golem.de|language=de|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tweakers.net/nieuws/113631/maxthon-browser-stuurt-zonder-toestemming-gegevens-door-naar-server-in-china.html|title=Maxthon-browser stuurt zonder toestemming gegevens door naar server in China|last=Soeteman|first=Krijn|date=15 July 2016|website=[[Tweakers.net]]|publisher=Persgroep Online Services|language=nl|access-date=16 July 2016}}</ref> Maxthon CEO Jeff Chen claimed that this was due to a bug that was fixed as soon as Maxthon was made aware of the issue;<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.maxthon.com/blog/security-and-privacy-are-top-priorities-at-maxthon-2/|title=Security and Privacy are Top Priorities at Maxthon - Maxthon Browsers Blog|date=2016-07-14|work=Maxthon Browsers Blog|access-date=2017-05-31}}</ref> however, Exatel had notified Maxthon of the issue without getting any response. <ref>https://exatel.pl/advisory/maxthonreporten.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519200145/https://exatel.pl/advisory/maxthonreporten.pdf |date=2020-05-19 }} {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}. </ref> The issue was found in Maxthon version 4.4.5.
