Why do you have toolbar installed?

I'm just curious, why do you have google toolbar installed?
I installed it when I started a directory and it provides some good useful tools to "judge" a site before approving it etc.
Pop up blocker is inbuilt in IE itself, so I disabled it in toolbar...

I used google's "website" earlier to search, (almost all the time) , now I type in toolbar.

What other features do you use or are we in the same boat?
Thanks

 

actually ive just uninstalled google toolbar and has been change by searchstatus.

 

I used Googlw toolbar to check page rank and for a quick access to google search.

 

Wouldn't be without it - main feature for me is PR display.

 

for spell check inside forms when using my WP editor

 

I use Google toolbar in IE and searchstatus in Firefox which gives better information for SEO.

Google Toolbar gives quick access in searching and also give PR.

 

Personally, I hate to install any toolbar to IE, it is easy to install but a lot of problem when you want to remove or uninstall.

Howerver, Extension Firefox is easy to manage and better than toolbar in IE

 

Why?
It just makes life easier,you know,i do search on google around 100 times a day.

 

i'm using G toolbar for looking my sites page rank and searching for google as everybody

 

I'm using it for viewing Page rank and of course for searching

 

I installed google toolbar in firefox to check page rank and and for easy searching.

 

i use the toolbar for PR checks and spell-checking.. can't live without it!

 

I am more comfortable using the google website for search. for me the only use is PR

 

I use the "add/remove programs" option in "control panel". Just 1 click to uninstall toolbar from there...
(Close all IE windows before removing.)
How do you do it?
Bye

 

to know sites and pages pagerank.

 

Essentially it is spyware! I just wish my anti-spyware would detect it.
Its also bundled with hundreds of software and is opt out rather than opt in (in that the option to install is pre-selected)

As privacy experts have been warning. If you use Google search, dont use Gmail or their other services if you dont want your searches tied to your gmail account.

 

Google Toolbar : for PR quick view

 

pr view, spell check, and the up folder icon.

 

Quick search and PR.
But what's the up folder icon you mean?

 

It's an optional button. The icon looks like a folder with a green arrow pointing up on it. The funtion is to take you up one folder.

Example

Your are at:

link/folder1/folder2/index.html

Hit the up icon one time and you are now at...

link/folder1/index.html
