Does AOL have its own browser or do they use IE or Netscape? No, I'm not thinking about getting AOL.

IE is built into their crap, last time I knew.

On windows its realy easy to plop IE into an application (which is why there's so many IE based browsers out there :) )

AOL uses a customized version of Internet Explorer for their built in browser.
You can MINIMIZE AOL, and use whatever browser is on your computer.

It's amazing how many people didn't know the last part you stated. It's more amazing that AOL allowed that. How dare they !

I think they used netscape for awhile, then switched to IE, but yeah don't use their inbrowser, it's really annoying having to use AOL format with IE
