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.
