The AOL Favorites feature is available after you register your account with the AOL service. Thanks to it, users can bookmark any site and save them in their profile. To transfer bookmarks to another browser, you can use a special extension or copy them manually. You can also transfer your favorites from one version of AOL to another after purchasing a new computer.
