Maxthon developers claim Nitro is the fastest PC browser in the world

Growing tired of the same collection of browsers? If you're looking to try something new and aren't already familiar with Maxthon's offerings, you can download the beta of Maxthon Nitro (MxNitro), supposedly the fastest browser available for the PC, according to the developers. Compared to the previous version, it loads three times faster, and compared to whichever browser you're using now, the developers say it fetches and loads webpages "considerably quicker."
Maxthon is targeting users who want a no-fuss, stripped down browser that's fast, minimalistic in design, and has a low memory and CPU footprint.
"Our focus groups and longitudinal surveys detail a growing segment of users who want speed above all else. 80 percent of users say that speed is their number one decision-making criteria and that they are willing to forego extensive features and add-ons to get more of it," said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. "This product is dedicated solely to that important and growing consumer niche."
MxNitro gets it speed in part by reducing its UI load, and also by adding new patent-pending pre-connection and pre-fetching technology. Sounds all well and dandy, but is it truly faster than other browsers? Subjectively speaking, in our limited hands-on testing, it certainly feels faster -- webpages appear to render quicker than on Chrome, Firefox, or IE.
What about objectively? Stay tuned -- we plan to run Nitro through a few browser benchmarks to see how it compares to the competition. In the meantime, you can check it out for yourself here.
