Floating Windows Let Users Watch Video While Surfing at a Different Web Site BEIJING, Aug. 18
BEIJING, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Maxthon International is testing a
feature for its award-winning browser that would allow users to watch two
Internet videos at the same time, or detach videos that continue to play while
the user works on a different Web page.
When the Float button is enabled in Maxthon's configuration panel, a small
button labeled "Detach Video" appears in the upper right corner of any video
when it's played. Clicking the button makes Maxthon detach the video from the
rest of the page. The user can drag it anywhere on his screen -- or to a
second screen -- and it will continue to play as the user surfs other pages.

Caption 1: Arrow points to new button that permits a user to detach a
video from a Web page.
The detached video automatically is set to stay on top of other windows,
but it can be hidden by clicking a push-pin button. When the video window is
closed Maxthon reattaches it to the original Web page.
Maxthon developers said that they did not know when the feature would be
added to browser, but they said it already is very stable.
