CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 07, 2008
Google has long been one of the most useful tools on the Net, but frequent search engine users may find that they can make it even more efficient. CustomizeGoogle is an extension for the Firefox Web browser that adds options to an ordinary Google Search, providing additional links to sources such as Yahoo, Wikipedia, or MSN. Depending on the specifics of the search, results might also include links to movie, music, or book search engines.
We like the link to the Wayback Machine, which enables users to see pages that have vanished from the Net. The software filters out advertisements, numbers your results, and can block specific domains and sites if needed. It can also block GoogleAds, make your Google searching anonymous, and load your Gmail and Google calendar in secure (HTTPS) pages. With these capabilities, we think the download could certainly be useful to any Firefox user who, like us, does the majority of their Web surfing through Google.

Version: CustomizeGoogle 0.76
"A firefox browser must have this embedded add on"
Pros: You make a search on Google and then, if necessary, make searches on nine others at ease. You get ad free results.
Cons: For one year now it regularly gets automatically updated to match new Firefox editions
No adverse feature has come to my notice.Summary: This add on makes searching so easy. If only the Goliath Microsoft improved IE to accommodate such fine add ons.
