"Works good for what it does but invades your privacy."
Version: Google Toolbar 2.0.113
Summary
With the advanced features enabled, Google's free toolbar for Explorer phones home with every page you surf, and yes, it reads your cookie too. Their privacy policy confesses this, but that's only because Alexa lost a class-action lawsuit when their toolbar did the same thing, and their privacy policy failed to explain this. Worse yet, Google's toolbar updates to new versions quietly, and without asking. This means that if you have the toolbar installed, Google essentially has complete access to your hard disk every time you connect to Google (which is many times a day). Most software vendors, and even Microsoft, ask if you'd like an updated version. But not Google. Any software that updates automatically presents a massive security risk.

"The new Yahoo toolbar gives very strong competition"
Version: Google Toolbar 2.0.113
Summary
It's great! But, Yahoo succumbed to pressure regarding ads and such and may now have a better toolbar. For me, it's a toss-up at the moment, using both but being as yet undecided. Google is a great outfit and I won't be unfair to it, but the user has to determine for him/herself which of the two does the better job. I'm not at all positive that Google beats Yahoo, but I'd like others' feedback.

"It's like oxygen, everybody needs it"

"AutoComplete is great, pop-up blocking is greater..."
Version: Google Toolbar 2.0.113
Summary
This toolbar is functional in more ways than one. Unfortunately, my browser of choice is Firefox so I don't get as much use out of the bar, but when I have to use IE it makes surfing more bearable. I should also mention that the real Google toolbar is NOT included in Firefox - merely a Google search field or a downloadable Google toolbar-like extension (not from Google).
