AOL is aninternet company founded in 1985 as Quantum Computing Services.[1] Each acquisition is for the respective company in its entirety. Theacquisition date listed is the date of the agreement between AOL and the subject of the acquisition. The value of each acquisition is listed inUS dollars because AOL is headquartered in the United States. If the value of an acquisition is not listed, then it is undisclosed. As of August 2013, AOL's largest acquisition has been the purchase ofNetscape, aweb browser company, forUS$4.2 billion.

Netscape's browser was dominant, in terms ofmarket share, but it had lost most of its share toInternet Explorer during thefirst browser war. By the end of 2007, the usage share of Netscape's browsers had fallen from over 90% in the 1990s, to less than 1%.[2] Its second-largest acquisition is the purchase ofMapQuest, aweb mapping company. From 1999 to 2009, MapQuest had the greatest market share among mapping websites; it has since dropped to second place, behindGoogle Maps.[3][4] The majority of the companies acquired by AOL are based in the United States. As of April 2008, AOL has acquired 41 companies. Most of the acquired companies are related to the internet, including severalinternet service providers andweb browsers.

In 2001, AOL merged with Time Warner to becomeAOL Time Warner. Due to the larger market capitalization of AOL, it gained ascendancy in the merger, with its executives largely displacing Time Warner's despite AOL's far smaller assets and revenues. AOL was spun off as its own independent company from Time Warner in 2009.

Verizon Communications acquired AOL in 2015, and operated it as a separate subsidiary. In 2017, Verizon boughtthe first Yahoo! Inc. and merged it with AOL, creatingthe second Yahoo! Inc. The company sold a 90% stake in Yahoo! toApollo Global Management in 2021, and AOL was placed under Yahoo!’s umbrella.
