Where Does Maxthon Store Browser Profiles?
Maxthon Chromium profile folder on Windows and how to confirm the exact path.
Last updated
Modern Maxthon (6 and 7) is Chromium under the hood, so profiles follow the Chromium layout: a User Data root with Default and numbered profile folders holding history, bookmarks, extensions and login state. The branding differs from Chrome but the shape is familiar.
Exact folder names drift between Maxthon releases, so confirm before scripting backups. Open the version page in the browser and read the profile path it reports. Back up with Maxthon fully closed, since the running browser locks its databases.
Where Maxthon stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Maxthon
User Data style root below this folder with Default profile inside. Confirm the live path on the version page first, since major versions rename roots. Copy the profile folder with the browser closed.
App-private storage (synced via Maxthon account)
Mobile profile in the sandbox with cloud sync through the Maxthon account (bookmarks, notes, passwords). Reinstalling restores synced items; local downloads in the shared Download folder stay put.
Frequently asked questions
how do I find my exact Maxthon profile path
Open the browser version page and read the reported profile path, then paste it into Explorer. The folder named Default is the first profile; added people appear as Profile 1, Profile 2 and so on.
can I move my Maxthon profile to a new PC
Yes. Close Maxthon on both machines, copy the profile folder into the same relative location on the new install, and launch. Sign into the Maxthon account afterward so cloud sync takes over future moves.
