Been using Netscape at home for years. As of yesterday, my homepage was Netscape, which had their version of news and blog links and a list of volunteer content managers (if I understand correctly what I was looking at).
Today it's AOL.
Looking more closely, I see AOL * Netscape in the title block, but it seems to be AOL content, look, and feel.
I'm not especially fond of AOL. I'm also mildly disoriented.
I googled "AOL Netscape Merge" and found many sites from 1998 talking about a proposed merger. Perhaps they've been merged for a long time, and only AOL-ized their homepage today?
Anyway, I find it curiously Orwellian that there's no mention of the change on the page. "We have always been AOL."
