AOL releases IE-based web browser; scraps Netscape?
WinInfo | at | by Mike
AOL released a Web browser? That's shocking, right? Well check this out: Unlike, say, the newer Netscape browsers, AOL's browser isn't horrible. And get this: The browser is based on IE. Called AOL Explorer (what else?), the new browser features a sleek look, well-designed tabbed browsing, Web page thumbnails, and Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed aggregation. All in all, it's pretty swell, and I don't say that lightly, having suffered for years under the horrible yoke of the company's online service. AOL Explorer is available for free, and I have to say, you might just want to give it a shot.
