I have been using Maxthon on Linux for a long time now. But recently when I changed my distro to Deepin 15 I installed Maxthon but now whenever I try to open any google sites (google, gmail, youtube) I get this
SSL connection error: Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
I checked around online and found a fix. they say to go into the settings and make some changes in the network settings of Maxthon. But when I click on network in the settings, I get this message
When running Google Chrome under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man google-chrome-stable for more information on flags and environment variables.Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

open the terminal:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

find this line:

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U

and add proxy address at the end of it, like that

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --proxy-server="IP proxy Server:port"

Save and test.

This problem only occurs on Maxthon browser. Other chromium browsers work okay like opera slimjet google chrome
This is surprising because this https://bbs.deepin.org/module list Maxthon as a partner.

I'm not sure what is wrong, but I did install maxthon from the command line and test it and works without any problems, I can go on my gmail, youtube, google, no error.
  1. sudo apt-get install maxthon-browser-stable
Copy the Code

Maybe you can delete settings from .config/maxthon (just remove or rename maxthon in .config folder)...

TRISTAR: I have no idea what a proxy server is and where to find a proxy server and port.  I've never had to set anything like this up before.....I have tried installing maxthon through the software center and also through the command line and have the same problem on both.

The Maxthon browser works good in Deepin 14. It is not working right in Deepin 15 Either there is some issues with Maxthon or something is missing in Deepin 15.
I would like to see them fix this problem, because Maxthon is one of the few chromium browsers left that still support java and pipelight The proxy work around is not a fix for me.

Did you rename maxthon folder in .config folder? This means for Maxthon fresh start.

I removed it completely and then deleted the.config folder for maxthon. I then restarted the computer and installed maxthon again from the command line but it didn't do any good.

Use "Deepin User Feedback" and report this bug then. I'm sure they will fix this, strange thing is, that I do not have this problem with fresh install. Strange.

According to maxthon the linux version is not maintained anymore.
Slimjet is a good replacment for maxthon they have a linux version that works good.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

The Linux version of Maxthon is based on a very old version of Chromium. The Deepin store has better alternatives. Opera, Vivaldi, Pale Moon and more.
