Clicky Web Analytics RIP, Google Toolbar... - Brenton House

RIP, Google Toolbar...

I have been trying out the MSN Toolbar for a little while, at first just to get the tabbed browser.  However, I do like the results I get back from Google better then MSN.   I then found that you can change the settings in MSN Toolbar to actually search Google instead of MSN.  Nice!

Then I came across this article today that Google is going to be distributing Java with their toolbar.  That is the nail in the coffin for my several years with google toobar.

I think that MSN should start shipping the .NET Framework with it’s toolbar!

"Users who download Sun's Java software, which is needed to run a variety of Web applications, will have the option of downloading Google's search toolbar."

is not the same as

"Google is going to be distributing Java with their toolbar."

You could try Opera, Safari, or Firefox and avoid the toolbar all together and get tabbed browsing.

"Aside from a plan to offer Google's toolbar program with downloads of Java software, details of the agreement were scant"

You are probably right... I read this to read that java was coming with google not google with java.

Yeah man, get your facts straight ;-)

Really, you should just be using Firefox anyway. Or, just hold out for IE 7
