    Its a fast browser and actually a nice GUI. I like the tab previews, line your mouse over a tab for a preview of whats in the tab. Less clicking. Might make my job a tad easier. New version on front page, see for yourself.

    Is it still based on the IE engine?

    Pretty steep, 45-50 megs, but it is a beta. Of course, people see AOL, dont see beta and keep rating it poorly, what suprises me is it is rated higher at other websites, where you would think the audience would not be as bright as people here. What do i know.

    can you get a Bork! Bork! Bork! addon for the AOL browser?

    :) :confused: :eek:

    I have forced my wife to use Firefox, maybe I will install the AOL Browser and change the icon paths (she clicks the same icon but opens different program) and see what she thinks of it.

    It requires a minimum of IE 6 already on your system.. which is weird because it's sporting IE7 features..

    i have nothing against aol, in fact i usually try their betas as soon as possible but lately it just seems that their lower quality than the other available downloads.

    Tried Triton for a while, but there were just little things that I couldnt live with like the processes etc.
