AOL Browser
I was installing a new version of AIM and notived that as usual it was packed with more than just AIM. I selected an option in AIM and it popped up the AOL browser.
Funny thing is that, I'm impressed..
The security drop down is great, and has one useful option I REALLY like:
Show ALL Links, as FULL URLs.... Awesome idea, to know what you're actually clicking on.
It has a built in spyware scan and a list of known bothersome spyware BUILT IN.... OK cool, but it also can scan for spyware.
The tabbed browsing is top notch and looks amazing. Moving your mouse over a tab displays the web page as an icon. Very nice.
Of course a Pop up blocker is included.
I think so far my favorite feature though is the scan for spyware, and show all links as full URLs and of course the Active X control right in the security menu.
Configuring it is easy too.
One other thing:
In the security menu is a thing you click on and it's called "Who owns this web site?"
I think this browser has some awesome potential and I hope to see it in IE and Firefox soon. It has taken a few steps on preventing phising and I'm impressed.
Good one to AOL on this.
