Maxthon or Avant?
Curt:
I use both Avant and Maxthon (both 1.6 and 2), but prefer Maxthon 1.6 Classic.
However, I would say Avant surely is the lighter one on resources, and also the fastest.
muntealb:
Maxthon 2 and Avant 11 use similar resources, this can be confirmed by monitoring them with Windows Task Manager (actually in my tests Maxthon uses less memory than Avant).
Avant may be marginally faster (not in my opinion), but that's probably because Maxthon has a powerful Ad Blocker and blocks a lot of the publicity before rendering the page.
Curt:
Ohh.. yes... I forgot to think of the many add'ons I have installed in Maxthon. Sorry!

Yay, think about plugins and features . Maxthon is better :)
MrCrispy:
I used to be a diehard MAxthon user before I switched to Firefox 2. If all you're looking for is IE compatibility, try an extension like 'IE tab' or 'IE Tab lite' which will use the IE rendering engine in Firefox. I don't know of any Maxthon extension that doesn't have a FF equivalent, so I don't feel the need to switch.
