Summary
After reading a lot of bad reports about this browser I thought I would download and try Aol Explorer for myselfe. And to my suprise it works! Better than Internet Explorer does and this browser is based on IE and I have IE8. Could that be why this browser aol explorer works here on my computer? Anyway,it is faster and more attractive than Internet explorer. And it has lots of themes to customise this browser with and I could play all of the videos on You tube and other sites. This browser works okay. But before you get too excited,the bad new is this browser is no longer updated. The latest version I could get was 2006. Aol Explorer is like Netscape Navigater in that no more new versions are being made but the difference between Aol and Netscape is. Netscape like aol is no longer being made anymore and this browser is no longer supported on You Tube although you can still go on it, but you cannot get onto My Space with Netscape. Aol Explorer is like Netscape no longer being made but unlike Netscape it is NOT officially unsupported. That is when you go on You tube you do not get any messages saying your browser is outdated but you do with Netscape and you can go onto My space with Aol Explorer but you can not with Netscape. Aol has an interesting feature,it scans for spyware and the look and features of this browser would not be out of place today in 2010. Which suggests that in it's day in 2006 when this came out,this browser was ahead of it's time. Aol works with my windows 7 laptop and you can do all of the things you can with your other browsers. I still use Netscape as it works good for me and i will be using this browser Aol Explorer. Of course it will never be as high tech as Chromium or Google Chrome or Flock but it is far better than Internet Explorer,even though Aol,like Green browser is based on IE. so it is okay to use but the disadvantage is it is outdated and like Netscape you cannot get any new versions.

"easy to use and good functionality"
"easy to use and good functionality"
Pros
everything you normally want at a click, like weather and email, amongst many other things
easy to use
works anywhere internet explorer would
Cons
I still prefer to use Chrome for most things, but sometimes have to use a browser like this when a site requires internet explorer, like to play some of my favorite games online
Summary
The only other thing I want to mention other than what's above, is this browser DOES also work with Windows Vista. That's what I have, and it works beautifully for me.
"Almost as bad as Internet Explorer"
"Almost as bad as Internet Explorer"
Pros
One test i give to any browser I use is if it remembers my homepage. This one wouldn't even let me login to my homepage. Like any other thing AOL touches this is junk.
Cons
One of the three worst browsers on the net. The other two are any version of either Internet Explorer or Mozilla.
Summary
Don't even bother to download it. You can still get Netscape Navigator or Google Chrome and they both work better than this one does..
"Nice browser; Quick loading of pages."
"Nice browser; Quick loading of pages."
Pros
This is a nice lighter version of AOL's original browser - it's slimmer and the pages load quickly. You can go to their website and download the 'Radio Toolbar' for free and customize the radio to your liking. Music plays crystal clear. : )
Cons
To get all of the features the original browser has you must go to aol's website - aol.com.
Summary
Nice AOL browser for free; love their radio toolbar especially.
