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

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
