  Is it independent of maxthon 4 though? As in, can i have the 2 browsers (4 and 5) on my PC?

  I have Max 3 as well as MX5 on my PC, both use different versions of flash.

  Tried playing one hole on MX5 and the meter was dreadful, strobing all the way to the ding line.  The cursor was also very un-precise, wondering all over the place like a drunk.

  I've got 4 and 5 on my desktop.

  Played a few 9's using the new Max 5, once I'd tweaked the settings and changed browser core thingy, it all came good.

  All right click functions back to normal. Smooth meter, space bar works, plays as well as max 4.

  I'll keep using it and see how it goes.

  I got my email late last night and downloaded it this morning. I like the browser but it uses the peppflash which my computer hates. The peppflash runs my pc usage through the roof, in turns messes with the meter. My meter is smooth but when you click the mouse to hit the ball some times the meter will keep on going. I think this is due to the high pc usage. 

  Just thought of something while writting this and I will have to try, if it helps I will post back, but I am thinking about setting the flash quality to medium.

  Any chance of a screenshot of the new Maxthon 5 with the dev tools open [F12].
  
  Can anyone also tell me if it's possible to resize the font in the dev tools of Max 5. I can do this in Chrome by applying focus to the dev tools and holding down CTRL and scrolling the mouse wheel. But this doesn't work in Maxthon 3 (or Cloud as far as I can remember) and the small default font makes it uncomfortable to use.
  
  Thank you.  : )

  Hi Scott

  There is a workaround, you need the Violentmonkey ext. and then go here.

  https://userstyles.org/styles/68263/global-font-size

  click on "install this style as a user script“. This sends a user script installation request to Violentmonkey. Confirm that installation. Text size should be larger now.

  Not sure how flexible this is, haven't tried it myself, but it's a possibility maybe in the short term.

  There is an option in the settings but I'm not sure if it works with the new release.

  

  Cheers

  Rich

  The new browser uses a little more system memory, but so far, so good. Smooth meter, no issues. But if you're on a marginal computer to start with, the older version might be the way to go. Used that one for months, and it always worked well.

  Hi Bill, do you have service the flash in the control pannel/or right click? 

   

  The biggest annoyance was the lost of the space bar !!! Any words to the wise will be sufficient.
