Google Toolbar 5 (Beta) For IE

Posted on by

Google released an updated version of their Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer the other day. The main things you’ll find with this version:

  • The ability to save your toolbar settings online and “sync” them between computers.
  • Integration of Google Notebook directly into the toolbar.
  • Improved find that mimics the Opera & Firefox “find bars”.

I like having Google Notebook there, but I absolutely do not like the way that it has been merged with Google Bookmarks. No word on when a Firefox version with the new features will be available, or if there will be a cross browser syncing ability.

Unofficial: Opera 9.5 Beta 1 Available

Posted on by

Opera 9.50 Beta 1 isn’t scheduled to be officially released until tomorrow, however it’s made an early appearance on Opera’s public FTP.

Before I post the links, a little word of warning to anyone that grabs the file early. It’s not been officially released until you see something on the Opera Desktop Team Blog or the actual Opera.com website. There have been a few occurrences in the past where a file on the FTP had to be pulled or replace due to some kind of issue.

The above links are to the FTP site, and not the actual file. Remember, this is unofficial still and even then it is BETA software. The official release will be tomorrow.

Flock 1.0 Beta Released

Posted on by

It’s been a long time since I post anything about Flock, the social web browser. I may have forgotten about it, but its developers have been hard at work, and now Flock 1.0 beta has been released to the world. If you’re big into Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, Blogging, del.ico.us, and those kinds of things, your browser may have just arrived.
