Google to work with Maxthon to ensure compatibility with their products

Maxthon is a web browser product based on the Internet Explorer rendering engine and the developers have found an ally in the form of the search engine giant Google.

The two companies are now working together to ensure that software such as the Google Toolbar and Google Notebook work well with the browser.

Maxthon browser is fairly popular in the Chinese market which is currently the second largest web market in the world.

Netanel Jacobsson, a partner and senior vice president with Maxthon however did not confirm whether the rumors of a possible Google investment in the company are true.

Google has been trying hard to get a strong presence in china where they face massive competition from Baidu.com. They are even considering possibilities of developing a version for the Apple Mac OS.
