... other browsers, but I don't really care that much. This title bar consists of a row of text options 'Tools' etc., then underneath is a line of picture icons, generally specific to AOL such as 'Community' and the like. By the time you've got down to the address bar, a good few inches of your screen space has been taken up by rubbish. You can't get rid of these things either, and they seem to take over the screen more and more with every new version as AOL desperately tries to cling on to its market share. If you like your...more

AOL version 9 is the browser/program that my parents use for their home computer, and I really dislike it for several reasons. We've been using AOL since about 4.0, which must be getting on for ten years now, and until about AOL 7.0 I had no problems with it. Then two things happened - one, browsers started getting more competitive and introducing essential things like tabs, and secondly, AOL started getting far more bloated and buggy. Now my parents' computer is younger, has more RAM, hard drive space and better components than my old laptop, and yet my old laptop using a non-AOL browser is at least twice as fast.

Let me start off by saying that AOL 9 is probably the worse software for internet access that there has ever been. It is a complete system hog, and is the only ISP that thrusts its own software down our throats whether we like it or not.

This went on for at least 3 minutes, during which time my pc was almost unusable due to that searching. Then, if that wasn't bad enough.

America On Line (AOL) has been my first and only Internet provider and from the first day my husband introduced it to me I fell in love. From the basic layout of the home page and easy access to your emails, to the facility to have 7 different email addresses and especially the news updates, there is definitely something for everyone on here. --The Layout— Firstly I have to mention the colour of the main page. It is a very relaxing shade of blue with the task bar and borders of any other relevant boxes in a slightly darker blue. It is very appealing on the eye and easy to look at for long periods if you are reading articles and so ... Read the complete review
