Absolute Toolbar for Windows

Used Absolute Toolbar for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This bookmark manager comes preset with hundreds of bookmarks, but users will be disappointed by this so-called free programs limitations. Absolute Toolbar uses a multilevel, tabbed interface that is designed to save space, but the result is a cluttered, hard-to-read toolbar.

It took us some time to find our way around, even with the aid of a help menu. Well give it kudos on the number of links--there are definitely a lot of links available with Absolute Toolbar, and each one quickly took us to the corresponding Web page. The publisher of Absolute Toolbar claims that its free, but in order to add new categories or change any of the toolbar's settings, you have to purchase a deluxe version.

Absolute Toolbar does include some helpful features, such as the Reference and Zoom tools, but like the rest of the toolbar, the overkill of options could be confusing to some users. All said, there are plenty of bookmark managers out there that don't expect you to pay for more options.

Absolute Toolbar - Absolute Junk
January 8, 2010
Pros
I cannot think of any, other than everthing plus the kitchen sink, is thrown in resulting in a toolbar with a TRIPLE height!
Cons
Huge size; bloat, bloat, bloat. Confusing, not configurable unless you pay money.
Summary
Like CNet says, there are better resources out there. Don't bother with this overblown piece of junk.
Addictive features not found anywhere else.

Pros
Never thought someone can still come up with so many must have features for browser. I would call this all-in-one toolbar. It is also has a lot of shortcuts for often used functions. I specially got addicted to closing the browser by simultaneously clicking the left and the right mouse buttons. I also liked the opening of links or images with mouse middle button in a second window tiled to the first one. No more clicking on browser back button each time and waiting for page reload.
Cons
IÃ¢Â€Â™d like it to be more customizable.
