I don't like Alexa and couple of other social bookmarking toolbars, they keep spying on me. I'll pass too
If the toolbar screwes your firefox and you can't start it after the installation, don't think of reinstalling firefox. You could start FF in safe mode by going to start menu/all programs (or just programs)/mozilla firefox/start firefox in safe mode (or something like that). It happened to me. I couldn't start firefox after the installation of this toolbar, and the only solution was to uninstall it. I prefer SearchStatus as my FF seo widget.
Just to add on with Mong, here are some of its new features- * Sparkline - A very small condensed traffic history graph. Gives you a quick view to show whether the site is moving up or down. * Rank - Shows the traffic rank of the site. * Reach Indicator - Provides a qualitative view of whether a site’s rank is good or bad. * Related Links - Provides up to 10 Related links in the browser’s File | Edit | View menu. * Shortcuts - Clicking on Sparky brings up a menu of other handy shortcuts, including Alexa Detail pages, Cached Pages, Search Pages and more.
I agree, I've used searchstatus for a while and it tells me everything I need. Don't really see the need for a toolbar when you have a much more compact (and useful) extension.
i have installed it and i don't see a problem. you install Google toolbar and we know Google collects informations not just about the sites we visit but also the emails we read - gmail . Alexa is a amazon company ... what i feel is the information they collect is being used to give you a better amazon experience , if anything . I am sure they would not be pushing your info to some other competitors . how is a toolbar ( and i mean only alexa or google ) different from a Browser addon like Search Status ? In both cases u are allowing something to sit on your browser
From Wikipedia with little editing. BTW: Does anybody have it working on FF 2.0.0.4? Because it doesn't seem to work and FF doesn't start at all after installing.
I use the searchstatus addon for firefox - and love it. i will never use anything else and i will highly recomend this one.
