Google Toolbar increases your ability to find information from anywhere on the web. The toolbar appears along with the Internet Explorer toolbar. This means you can quickly and easily use Google to search from any website location, without returning to the Google home page to begin another search.

@bobad . Why write a review of a product you clearly know nothing about? If you don't install it, you have no business reviewing it. It's not really helpful to others.

I use software to prevent toolbars such as this one from infecting my system. Too bad anti-spyware software doesn't detect it, probably because it's Google. This piece of junk is ubiquitous. For example, it's hard to even install hardware drivers these days without accidentally installing Google Toolbar. I rate it a 2 for usefulness (my browser does everything it does) and downgrade it 1 for it trying to force its way into my system by being everywhere.

Change log? Is this beta version also available for Firefox?

I agree with the gist of most positive reviews: Google Toolbar is a 'must' install for any system... and this latest update a 'must' get. If anything, the toolbar may now have too many features-- some get 'hidden' under the >>, so I'd like to see more and plenty of customizability for individual users- esp. the drag & drop kind.

I really, REALLY don't know who and why invented adding toolbars to the browsers. It's totally useless! USELESS. It doesn't even diserve a one star in my book. ANY browser toolbar.

I hate toolbars with a vengeance! Google put this program where the sun don't shine.

So let me get this straight: I should install and run a toolbar that phones home continuously, allows tracking of my whereabouts and search criteria for ad purposes to be sold to the highest bidder, is a SERIOUS privacy violation from a company with the worst privacy record imaginable and in general is just a candy-coated piece of malware? Right. And the worst part is that so many users are running (not walking) down the "Too Stupid To Live" road to install and run it. It's a pity there is no negative rating. Avoid anything and everything form this company. As a security analyst, I can only way that their practices are despicable.

I don't have a problem with toolbars themselves. Most of them anyways. Yes some of them are just adware/spyware junk. My problem with them is that companies, like Google, install them automatically or if not automatically set to install by default. They slow down the browser and I am sick of removing them all the time. Thankfully it has gotten a lot easier these days to remove them. Thank God they are banned in Chrome. Now if only IE and FF would ban them too.
