cefsharp.browsersubprocess.exe
Long-time customer. I was just calling about the CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe. After about 3-4 minutes of trying to blame me for the problem, she literally hung up on me when I was asking a question. I pay for your service. Hanging up is unacceptable.
My anti-virus keeps blocking this program. Why can't you do something about it.
We sincerely apologize for this experience with our customer service. Please call 703-265-5070 and someone will be happy to help you.
As for the cefsharp.browsesubprocess.exe concern, this process is the browser process within AOL Desktop that allows the connection to the internet. Each window/feature within AOL Desktop Gold that connects to the internet uses one of these processes for the connection to the internet. As you close windows you will see that these processes exit.
Please be sure to add cefsharp.browsesubprocess.exe to your anti-virus software allow list to avoid any frustrations with connecting to the internet.

AOL Desktop Gold feedback page needs improvement
This post is being made on 2018-08-22; I am on version 11.0.1916.
I was prompted to provide this feedback because in the process of trying to provide feedback on ANOTHER topic (which was my first attempt to use the feedback capability), I had difficulty with just the opening page! I was signed into AOL Desktop Gold via "Submit feedback" on the HELP menu. This opened a browser with the AOL Gold feedback landing page, but the upper right corner said "New and returning users may sign in" and did not reflect knowledge of me as a user. Clicking on… -
Accuracy in AOL news reporting
Accuracy in AOL news reporting
AOL:Stop false narratives in your news like describing the death of the killer of Americans Soleimani as "murder".. Soleimani is the murderer. Hundreds of our people killed and thousands with grotesque wounds. The constitution does not permit the president to commit murder but it clearly gives him the authority to kill our enemies. AOL must stop trying to inflame and mischaracterizing important events in their anti Trump zeal.

Da??ed ads!
Just trying to read about Air Force One and a blasted video ad keeps flopping in the lower right corner. It is so distracting for me that I just quit reading. Oh, yeah, I know that they're so cutsy but they are very annoying. I don't watch the dam things, and I don't get the story read that I wanted. Nice going. It's a two time loser.

Hate this "new" way of providing feedback -- your upgrade ****
Unable to drag & drop from Favorites into the signature (i.e. Follow me on Twitter - with link already attached). Adding pictures used to be simple - now I have to search for and then copy/paste from another area. AND, after painstakingly creating a signature, and using it many times . . . TODAY, one signature disappeared to be the signature from another saved signature. NOT HAPPY Trying to WORK here!

news articles
Lighten up on the selected words that are censored, there are a lot of word aol articles used, words in your article are worse than what we are trying to comment on. Please quit re-posting articles from the past its really getting boring and forcing us to go to other browsers. You maybe don't have to post 80 articles a day that last 3-4 days at a time. Your taking away our 1st amendment.

So now getting rid of my portfolio THEE only reason I decided to pay the $5.00 a month to keep this site.
So now also getting rid of my portfolio-THEE only reason I decided to pay the $5.00 a month to keep this joke of a site. The ads, pop ups, dead or incorrect links, so called articles a year old, etc, etc, etc. So now another customer lost. I believe Verizon is actually trying to close up AOL for tax reasons.

Allow floating windows
The browser is trying to be more than it is by masking itself as a separate desktop. Don't do this, use modules and instances instead. Have a main browser and when you click an item have it open a new module for that app that can float and be moved wherever on the screen, do not constrain only to the browser window.

Tim Armstrong
There was Never a Notice about the changes from 9.8.2 to AOL GOLD.
Forget about fixing AOL GOLD, there is too much to repair. The LIE about Hacking for the reason to eliminate 9.8.2 is a LIE./
Just trying to get on line with AOL Gold is hard. Took close to 8 minutes to Get On Line.
Tim Armstrong and his team should be fired.
Plus I find out I have been OVER PAYING for YEARS for AOL.This is a CRIME. I am looking for Legal advise. -
ads are making my aol horrible, nothing works except the ads.
Ever since the new sidebare with the double ads began running my AOL has slowed way down. Its almost as bad as the old dial up. We are not happy.. I have had multiple calls with techs and spent several hours trying to resolve the slow speed. nothing has helped.
AOL. needs its own troubleshooter app like System mechanic that users can run on their own to clean up or fix AOL issues.Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please use the "report a bug" option in the help menu. This will collect extra logging information that we can use to help determine the cause and find a solution to this issue.

Bulk Deletion of Emails
I want to sort by sender and then delete in bulk depending on the sender. But, I cannot use the shift-click the first and then click the last to select large numbers of emails from the same sender. I have to physically click each box while holding down the ctrl key, This is very very slow and inefficient when I am trying to clean up over 45,000 emails, as this is 45,000 clicks when it should only be a few hundred. Am I missing something?

When it is going to end?
Oh, here we go. I log on only to find that the welcome screen does not come up but gives a very strange message with some weird thing I have never seen before. You have to click on the message box to get it to come through.
The email is all screwed up. Nothing is where it is supposed to be.
Then while trying to read an article the entire screen goes blank.
When is this nonsense going to end? Can it get any worse? Shame on you! I will be done with you soon.
Let me put you in touch with one of our technicians to check if they can help you out. Please call the AOL Desktop Gold team at the number 1-888-265-3733

I can't check my multiple AOL screen names from my phone anymore. Samsung wants me to sign a form giving it the right to read all my AOL emails. AOL already reads all my emails now and Samsung is trying to steal the data that AOL sells or uses to entice advertiser to place ads on AOL. I down loaded the AOL Mail app but so far I can only download this AOL screen name.I sent AOL a message to upgrade their mobile app.

I HATE the new Gold.
What were you thinking. My favorites all gone! Why? Emails constantly coming up in bottom right corner when I'm trying to do something else. I do NOT need this! I know how to check my email. When I want to permanently delete I used to be able to "select all" and do them all at once. Now, one at a time? This whole new Gold is terrible! If it wasn't broke, why fix it???

favorites
it would be nice when saving to favorites to be able to name it as we want or go ahead and save it by default. there are a lot of times i don't know what name it put on it in the favorites and hard to find if you dont hit the correct word in the search block when trying to find it. just give us the option to name it or default.
When you add a site to favorites there are 2 fields that must be completed. The first asks for the name you want the favorite to have and the other one holds the link. If you didn’t name a bookmark you can click on edit and rename it.
Major websites will automatically use the default name (Ex: www.google.com = Google)

Replace or Improve Desktop Gold
I just got off the phone with Tech Support, and they had to uninstall and then reinstall your HORRIBLE Desktop Gold platform once again since it would freeze up and stop working after I was using it after a few hours every single time. What a waste of my time, and it costs AOL lots of money having their tech support team deal with the endless problems with the platform that its users encounter.
Desktop Gold is hated by everyone, and is the worst platform that AOL has over had, yet you refuse to improve it, or better yet, replace…
