Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer does more than give IE a shot of nitro. With a set of features both useful and self-promoting, Google Toolbar 4 feels like it adds four cylinders to IE's engine, turning it into a powerhouse of personalized functionality. There's the dedicated Google search window, the highly effective pop-up blocker, the form autofiller, the translation utility, the spelling checker, and the map tool that automatically links addresses in Web pages to maps. Then there's the full integration with the Google suite: Google Earth, Google News, Froogle, Google Maps, Blogger, and others. Every single one of the integrated tools, including the toolbar itself, is fully customizable.
Note that using advanced features such as PageRank automatically sends the URL of the site you're viewing back to Google's servers. The PageRank feature is optional, and you can enable or disable it at any time through the toolbar's Options button. But if you're concerned about privacy, Google gives you the option of downloading a version that doesn't report back. You can even use the Google Toolbar without a Google account. However, considering all that comes with it, why wouldn't you?
