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.

New Google Toolbar Beta

Posted on by

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.

Google Toolbar For Mozilla Firefox (Beta) Released

Posted on by

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
