I thought your Browser Speed Comparisons was a very interesting and
informative look at the browsers. I just was curious though why Maxthon/myIE
weren't included in the test as they seem to be pretty popular browsers as
well.

Because Maxthon (ex-MyIE2) is just Internet Explorer with a fancy skin, it
does not include its own rendering engine, it just uses whatever is already
installed on the system. So for Maxathon, the performance should
approximate to the Internet Explorer performance for whatever version of
Internet Explorer is installed on the computer. The same goes for any other
Internet Explorer clones.
If I had included this as a separate browser, I would also have felt
obliged to include all the other clones of this and Mozilla - and there are
far too many of them.
