Manual import, I take it? :)

You mean, why did it take me a whole minute to import? I was including the time taken to fire up FeedDemon, find the export function, choose a filename on disk, alt-tab back to Maxthon, find the import function, and select the filename :)

The only problem I see with this new RSS side tool is that he didn't remember which item you have read(if you select another category and come back at the old one, the grayed items will be put back in yellow). Following this little problem there is no way to make all as read.

Otherwise Maxthon is a rock solid browser and the generated layout to display your feeds is classic and really well done.

Good day,

Salutations,

Fred

This is a good feature, although it will take a herd of wild beasts to pull me away from using Bloglines.

Seriously, if you want good RSS functionality in Maxthon, just setup a startup group that includes your Bloglines RSS page. Bloglines lets you do things like check other peoples RSS lists and get RSS recommendations based on your existing feeds. Social RSS readers will always win out over isolated RSS readers IMO.
