CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Even if you're a die-hard fan of the animated Homestar Runner characters, you probably won't find much to love with this toolbar. The Homestar Runner Toolbar is packed with options and the toolbar designer's enthusiasm for the show is evident, but there's so much thrown out there and too little guidance for what each button or pull-down menu is supposed to do.
The toolbar has two search fields, one for the official site and one for the hrwiki.com site. There are quick navigation options for various sections of both sites, but it's just not that much of a time-saver over using bookmarks or the nav links on the sites. There are a couple of buttons to navigate the Strong Bad Emails on the Homestar Runner site, but this one feature is hardly worth the download of this freebie.
A Help file is desperately needed but not included, an oversight that makes this toolbar a lot harder to use than it should be. Skip it, and bookmark the Homestar Runner-related sites instead.
Publisher's description
From KeegsterNet :The Homestar Runner Toolbar is an enhanced navigation bar. With a simple keyword entry, the multiple scrolls and clicks of the Homestar Runner website can be immediately bypassed, and any file can be reached immediately. Simply type the toon name OR the toon's filename, and one click is all it takes. The Homestar Runner Toolbar also offers instant access to hrwiki.org, the web's most comprehensive Homestar Runner information database. Again, a simple keyword entry is all that's needed to find everything from fun facts to transcripts to Easter eggs - all in one source.
New in Version 2.0 is the Wiki This button, which takes you directly to the wiki information page for the current toon, as well as back and next buttons for SBEmail navigation. In addition, The Homestar Runner Toolbar features a number of quick links and a Random Toon button to help you get a quick Homestar fix.

Version: Homestar Runner Toolbar for Internet Explorer 2
"May be nothing better than this"
Pros: A true Password manager that does the job very well.
I like the 1-Click logins.
Roboform is able to fill forms that are designed in different languages. Makes my online experience exceptional.
You do not quite have to worry about keyloggers and other mal softwares. It is a great piece of work.
You only have to remember one password and it remembers the rest
Cons: It will be nice to have to the ability to protect deletion of 'Passcards' with the master password. As anybody who uses the computer can delete a passcard. Eg, I set a very complex password (generated by RF) for an online account, I trust RF to remember it always, because I can't, I should be the only one who can delete this file, ie by using the master password.
This is not a problem if you are the only one who uses this PC
