Recent news of the Google Toolbar hijacking 404 pages got me a bit curious. Are people still using toolbars until now? I guess the obvious answer is yes.
Obviously all these toolbar fanaticism is driven by only two things — ad money and spying data gathering.
So, what toolbars are installed in your browser and why are they in there?
- Google Toolbar
- Yahoo! Toolbar
- MSN Toolbar
- Ask Jeeves
- Alexa Toolbar
- DAP
- eBay
- Teoma
- Stumble Upon
- Netcraft
- ESPN Toolbar
- NBA Scoreboard
- Skype Toolbar
- ICQ
- Neopet
- Dictionary.com Toolbar
- MySpace
- Alta Vista
- WindowsLive
Oh, there’s tons of them on the list. I just notice I had the Google and Stumble Upon toolbar and yet I don’t use them.
Loading ...
google toolbar only but just for the search box.
I am always against any toolbars. Mostly it slows down my connection (I still use dial-up). But there is one toolbar that I have permitted in on my firefox browser - the one from workabroad.ph because they had no RSS feed.
I got yahoo on my firefox…I don’t even know why it is there..=]
google and netcraft
i got google and stumble upon too but don’t use them also…
I use Google toolbar on Firefox mainly for the one-click gmail button, sometimes I also use the Image and News search buttons when I’m a bit lazy.
Other toolbars have been banished because they are not only useless and hog system resources, they also eat up screen space.
Nada. I like having clutter-free browsers.
google and urban dead toolbar
I only have the StumbleUpon toolbar which I use once in a while.
If you have toolbars on your browser without you installing them yourself, it came with a program that you installed. Next time, make sure to read first before installing a program.
dead toolbar ba? hehehe
I’m just using google toolbar.
Web developer toolbar is still the most productive toolbar for me.
My screen is low enough as it is, but I do have stumbleupon and google, which gives me a translator, autolink and PR. I do have other toolbars on the options section.
I have Google Toolbar and Stumble Upon. Been using those two since it first came out, and use both regularly.
Other than that, I also have Yoono and the WebDeveloper toolbar.
This is for Firefox 2 btw. Waiting for these toolbars to be compatible with Firefox 3.
i use google toolbar for searches and email, and yahoo toolbar for email too, both firefox versions. reminds of cnets worst download for 2007 - the kevin federline toolbar..hehe

Webdeveloper toolbar for my firefox
@Abel,
I do not like a cluttered browser. 
Amen to that.
some people are in denial… they say they don’t care about PR but they still have the little green bar on the browser…
