Google ToolBar: Review

Google Toolbar makes it to the list of one of the few useful & trusted application(s), that net users around the world love to integrate their web-browser with. And why shouldn't it be the case? With such a simple design and many a tools-that-you-can't-live-without-with, this naturally makes it the preferred choice among all the web-page hoppers.
Needless to say, it's free, and safe. It is detected neither as an Adware, nor a SpyWare from all the recommended apllications that you can hope to see around - Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Norton Anti-Virus-2006, Yahoo Anti-Spyware. An easy Un-install button also adds to the programs ecstacy. It has got an enhanced Search Box and skins to work out with. It's Auto-Update feature also keeps out of worries of being outdated(at least, regarding the ToolBar). Easy Clearing of History also, is an expected yet important feature of this Bar.

Host of services that it offers in alpha order is -
- AutoFill
- Autolink
- Highlight Toggler
- Search(tad obvious)
- Spell Check
- Subscription to Feeds
- Link to it's GMail service
- Page-Rank
- News

Although this program has nothing negative to it's credit, but being not as exhaustive & stylish from it's rival Yahoo! ToolBar deducts it's ratings.

My Take: 8.5/10

the concept on which google works on is - keep it simple, but keep it really fast and quick

Be it their search (which made yahoo search his-tory), their email (gmail - simple, but fast), their messenger ( gtalk - email integrated, chat logs saved in email - awesome ), their toolbar, their plethora of softwares (picasa for one) - great stuff !
