its fre and available to all...

AOL says you need an AOL/AIM account. But that is to use the TopSpeed feature (which is to speed up web surfing...)

I dont have an AOL account, and as i said in my just previous post, my AIM account isnt working with it.

But you dont need TopSpeed working to use this excellent browser.

I'm downloading it, and using it now. It's almost too pretty to be functional. And it adds about 5 processes too which are probably fairly useless. It doesn't even have adblocking. And obviously, it's way too integrated with the AOL service.

I'm indifferent really.

what do you mean no ad blocking?

go into the settings man.

First off...its an IE front end, and there is a button in the settings to goto the IE Internet Settings...so there has to be some built in support for SP2 ad blocking.

In the settings there is a whole tab dedicated to ad blocking.

Hell, it even has support for manually defined rich-media removal.

,Mar 25 2005, 04:45]First of all, the "GAY" derogatory line.

Maybe its because you are new but we try to be a little restrictive with that line because some problems we had with homosexual members, because of that word and that terminology those members dont post here anymore.

ah now i see

well if the first person that replied or even the mod had said please dont use that word i would have appologised earlier as it was aimed toward a company namely AOL i thaught i was clear on that one.

sorry for Saying Gay

im more sorry that you didnt point that out earlier tho.

have to add to this you said First of all "Gay" so what was next or was that it just that one word?

Using the word gay isn't wrong. Using it like a middle-school child in a derogatory fashion is.

I have no love for AOL. Quite the opposite... I consider them to be in the "evil" category as far as software empires are concerned. However, I have noticed (over the last several months) that there seems to be a growing "non-evil" presence within AOL's borders. If the top brass don't move quickly to excise it (or worse, their Time Warner overseers encourage it!), we could actually see worthwhile products (such as this) coming from AOL on a regular basis.

Tab preview images, rss support, etc; AOL is getting the hint and are going after a whole new audience.

The middle click functionality is pretty nice. It's good to see more companies support what is almost a standard available feature these days.

Oi, it's not even worth it lol.

How do people on slower systems find the loading time of this app? That's one thing that's important to a lot of people is how quickly the app launches, never mind renders the actual pages.

I tried it, and they are doing a great job, but there is something that annoys me.

No scroll wheel support in tabs. Im back to Firefox until they fix this.

You mean for scrolling between the tabs and not scrolling the page contents, right?

585668515[/snapback]

Yeah, scrolling between the tabs, IMO its also becoming an industry standard along with the middle click.

also its a shame that you cant control the tab behavior, for example, the tab jumping its odd.

Two pages ago an user posted a way to disable them. Just erase the Startup entires in msconfig and switch to manual the running services in services.msc

The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
