Google Toolbar 5 (Beta) For IE

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

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.

New Google Toolbar Beta

Monday, January 30th, 2006

Google has released a new beta version of their Google Toolbar. The new version has some major changes over previous versions.

The toolbar allows you to log into your Google Account. This in turn, allows you to manage your “Google Bookmarks”, which you would have set in your Personalized Google Home Page and/or Google Search History.

You also have the ability to add new buttons to the toolbar via the Button Gallery. For those interested in making your own button, there is an API available.

No word yet when the new beta version will be available for Mozilla Firefox.

Last week Google released a new, improved, and non-beta version of the Google Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox. Not that it really helps much, but there is a change log.

Google Toolbar For Mozilla Firefox (Beta) Released

Friday, July 8th, 2005

I don’t think the announcement of a Google Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox is any real surprise considering the friendly relationship between the two companies and the growing popularity of Firefox.

Anyway, yes a Firefox version of the Google Toolbar is now available for download. — One nice note, the beta version of the toolbar is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac Operating Systems.

To bad the first Google tool for Linux is something I won’t be using. :P

New Version Of Google Toolbar

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

There is a new (minor) version of the Google Toolbar for IE, though I cannot exactly say when it was released.

According to the version history for the toolbar, the last version released as 3.0.119.9, which is what I had installed. However, after installing the toolbar on another computer, the version reads 3.0.123.2.

While no information is available yet on what’s has changed between 3.0.119.9 and 3.0.123.2, I’d say based off of the information about previous version, this only contains “Miscellaneous fixes and improvements”.

The Great Windows XPeriance

Thursday, March 10th, 2005

This has been a long time coming. To long to be honest, but it’s done now. That’s right, Microsoft Windows XP Professional has been reinstalled on my main rig. I’m actually in the process of reinstalling various applications as I type this. ;)

So, what are some of the first things I install? Well, in no particular order:

In addition to all of those, I also make it top priority to uninstall many of the default things Windows XP installs. Things like Windows Messenger, MSN Explorer, as well as the default set of games, wallpapers, and various other useless things. After those are gone, I also take a extremely close look at the Windows Services to see what I want to disable. For those of you who don’t know what you can or should disable for better performance, I’d suggest taking a look at this guide.
