I really don’t care about majority of web surfers. And I don’t care about settings. It was my personal opinion, and if I have full rights to expect from a piece of software to work as I would like it to work (and as you might already guessed I don’t care about devs also). Maxthon is not that kind of software. Opera is closest to perfection :P (for me). It at least asks me what to do on start (restore session, open blank etc.), this way I even know that there is an option for it (and I could bother to find it if I would like to).
In other words: I don’t expect devs to guess what I want, I just check what they have done, and based on first impression I decide to use it (or not).
Even if Maxthon is the perfect browser (after customization), then I loose. But that’s fine, cause I don’t care. :P
I would start to care if Opera wouldn’t exists. ;)
