Is the Maxthon browser just plain old IE under the hood? Or is it written from the ground up?

I believe Maxthon uses IE's rendering engine, but with a greatly changed UI. So a mix of the two, IE is doing to actual web-page drawing, but the rest of it is most likely from the ground up.

Correct. Maxthon uses Trident (the same way Chrome uses WebKit and Firefox uses Gecko). – grawity Jun 4 '10 at 21:10
