Hey Guys
Surfing around recently and found the new aol explorer toolbar. Now I hate AOL with a passion, but there new browser is actually really cool. Its nice because I haven't been massively attacked with popups with it at all. I guess not many popup techies have set their sites towards it yet. I usually run in Opera or Mozilla, but popups would constently start new tabs and stuff. I've been massively attacked and can't seem to get them away. In anycase, if you have any ideas of software which will take care of these pests, please let me know ASAP
Going back to my original topic, aol explorer is a really nice web explorer to use. You can start new tabs like in Opera but you don't have to click everywhere. Reason being is that aol has a built in snapshot, so when you hoover over the tab, it gives a snapshot of the shot your viewing. Its pretty cool. Another thing thats nice is the gui. It offers a easy gui interface which is really cool. It also includes a built in pop up blocker which makes things nice. It also has a quick spyware check and a footprint clear, which erases all tracks u might leave. Its really nice in theory, but I haven't testes either. It offers a neat side nav bar as well which you can use to check mail, go to favorites or see live feeds. Whats nice is that you can edit all of these so if you wanna listen to feeds from a podcast or something, u can do it easy. Only other complaint is that it was built by aol. It would be neat to offer a configure on the mail tab so you could check mail service from gmail or yahoo or such. Anyway, no complaints of it so far. pretty neat service even if you hate AOL (which I typically do...only downloaded this from the aim triton upgrade). Check it out if you have a chance (be sure to set off the autostart crap through msconfig)
