Hi,

Just testing out a new beta browser for AOL. I am curious to see what the UA String posts as, since I can't see it from within this early beta version yet.

The browser features tabbed browsing and pop up blocking, but selecting the preferences brings up the IE prefs. I have just installed it, so I know little else.

If anyone's interested, I'll post additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you for sharing this; however, user agent tests belong in the UserAgent string thread.

Yes, we are interested. If possible, a screenshot would be great. (but please resize it)

Sorry about the misplaced UA Test post guys. I'm still getting to know my way around here.

Hopefully the screenshot will make up for it a little. So far I have discovered one nice thing...placing the cursor on the tab text openes a miniature preview of the window on the tab (shown, although the cursor does not appear in the screen shot). One thing I'm not sure I like is that rather than a "close tab" option, it has a "tear off tab" option which moves the selected tab to a whole new browser window.

It is still very featureless, being such an early beta. Does not appear to be just an AOL branded version of current Moz builds though.

Here's the top 30% or so of the whole screen. I split it into 2 images so the pics aren't too wide for the board. The link is to my company website; I uploaded the screen shots there so I could post them on SD701.

Hi,
It looks like the Insucure Exploiter rendering engine.
Yuk.

That's because it is the IE rendering engine. Any UA that starts with "[tt]Mozilla/4.0[/tt]" these days, is IE.

But never mind the UA on that AOL beta, the UI looks something Apple rejected! It's absolutlely horrendous!

Hi,
Mozilla/4.0 could alos be Netscape 4.00 too.
Why does AOL like I.E.?

Because MS made a deal with AOL....
And the NS4 part... not many people still use 4.0, (not 4.0x, 4.5x,4.6x and 4.7x and 4.8).
UI looks too brushed metl, but more Windowish

MSIE uses

Code: Select all

Mozilla/4.0

in it's UA because it had to spoof as NS when NS controled 80%+ of the browser market way back in the day. But now I think it's more of sign of which generation the browser is.
