It says it is a Mozilla compatible browser. But that doesnt mean it is a Mozilla browser. To prove that it uses IE, got to Windowsupdate.com and it will run. If it was Mozilla it would not run at all and it would tell u to download IE. Also, AOL had its own seperate browser but I believed they switched over to IE around version 3.0 or 4.0 of AOL but now it is still IE in 7.0

The registry tags and browser identification strings are used primarily to bypass "browser sniffers"... thats all... doesn't mean sh1t imo.

eg: In TopStyle (a css editor) available from Bradsoft you can define the what it identifies itself as to the webserver... because some servers are configured to only allow connections (or display pages) to certain browser(s) versions etc.

Exacly you just cant write off the large numbers of people of who use AOL's own browser. Just becasue we would never use does not mean others will not. If so I would just in IE!

I know for a fact that the this browser screws up the tables or something but I cant be sure how to fix it if I cant view it for myself.

    • Microsoft launches Copilot Vision on Windows, allowing AI to see what is on your screen

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If you don't want AI on your devices, sorry, but don't use Windows, macOS or Android/iOS phones, because those have AI and will have more of it as time goes on. Linux seems to be your only safe heaven (for now, since Red Hat already included AI functionality on version 10).

      That sort of thinking is outdated. The exact problem with human drivers is that they kill A LOT of people. Machine vision can see significantly better than humans (all light spectrums) and react much faster. It's already to the point of stopping the car when a deer or bicyclist runs out in front of you, and it'll keep getting better. Driving is by far the most dangerous thing people do every day, so it would be stupid to not solve that problem.
    • Report: Major Siri AI upgrade may arrive with iOS 26.4, delayed to spring 2026

      2 years of delays for an AI that had the lead to begin with. How sad. Good thing they came out with Apple Vision because people are lining up at the door for that one. /s
    • Steam finally has a native app for Apple Silicon Macs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Steam finally has a native app for Apple Silicon Macs by Taras Buria About half a decade ago, Apple released the first Apple Silicon-based Macs with ARM processors, kicking off its chip revolution and severing ties with Intel. These chips were received to critical acclaim, and many developers optimized their apps for ARM relatively quickly—not Valve, though. Valve is only now getting ready to ship a native Steam client for macOS. The latest Steam Beta update is finally optimized for Apple Silicon, which means the app no longer relies on Rosetta 2, Apple's translation layer that emulates x86 applications on ARM-based chips. It is hardly surprising that it took Valve so long to optimize its client for Apple Silicon, considering Apple's low market share on Steam. Valve's monthly Hardware and Software Survey (check out the latest data here) shows that macOS has only 1.85% of all users, which is hardly what you call a priority. The survey's page itself makes it clear that the results help developers decide where to invest their time and effort. In recent years, Apple Silicon has made big strides in terms of graphical performance, which has made Mac a better gaming platform than before. Apple is also not giving up on its ongoing effort to make gaming on Mac more attractive. Every macOS release introduces new tools for developers and gamers (the recently announced iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26 received a new "Gaming" hub). Unfortunately for Apple, Macs still aren't popular for gaming, and the fact that it took Valve five years to optimize Steam for Apple Silicon just shows how difficult it is to convince everyone that Mac can game, too. In addition to native Apple Silicon support, the latest Steam Client Beta introduced improvements for Steam Chat, In-Game Overlay, and SteamOS. The complete changelog is available on the official Steam Community page.
