That's pretty amusing, but not too surprising. AOL never could get themselves pointed in any consistent direction. In the late 90s, I worked for a company that was an "AOL content partner" - around the time they ended that program, 2000 or thereabouts, the big hype was that they had started beta-testing a version of the AOL client that used Netscape as its internal browser. IIRC, there was a big rush to "eat their own dog food" after AOL bought Netscape.

Actually, AOL uses the IE Trident engine for its renderer, even in its new "OpenRide" software (which seems to have gone nowhere, btw). Only Compuserve (yes, it still exists) uses the Mozilla engine, but they haven't updated their software for the past 7 years or so, so we're talking Mozilla 1.0-era rendering.
