Rep Power: 4 | Yes its pop up blocking capabilities are above and beyond any other tool out there.
I love how easy it is to allow pop ups on particular sites too, you just click the button once and wallah - the site is now allowed to show pop ups! | |

Rep Power: 4 | Ive never used the yahoo bar but google toolbar is a must. Along with the pop up blocker I like being able to search from the toolbar rather than going to the google home page. | |

Rep Power: 4 | I love the page rank indicator.
It gives me a good idea if a site is well established or not.
I bet this site will have a good PR on the next update | |

We did so poorly in Google's recent Jagger update that I'm worried about falling back to PR5!  | |

Rep Power: 3 | I downloaded it and love it. I like how you can easily quickly search, kind of like the searchbar on Firefox. The popup blocker also works good. It's just another good free utility.

Rep Power: 3 | Yes I have it, but I prefer another search engine. Google is great when I can't find what I need on the other search engine though. | |

Rep Power: 3 | Does anyone know if the Googlebar for Firefox has been updated? I've checked the Mozilla extensions site but I haven't actually checked google. I can't use it any more since I updated to 1.5. | |

Rep Power: 3 | Toolbars
I personally find that using any toolbars are pretty much a nuisance. Most of them carry along with them, some spyware, which is my enemy, and I refuse to let spyware in. I'm pretty much a "manual" person, so no toolbars for me. | |

Its a widely used and popular toolbar, with a great amount of respect amongst users.

Rep Power: 6 | The Google Toolbar does have some spyware-like features, depending upon the options which you configure.
The PageRank, AutoLink, SpellCheck, and WordTranslator features all work by sending data back to Google.
Think about it -- they could not work otherwise! | |

Rep Power: 0 | YES,
Firefox with Google toolbar is excellent for browsing.
And the extremly useful and intresting firefix extensions...
Download and install firefox with google toolbar here: http://www.freewebs.com/telecomm/referrals.html
Atleast you can give a try if you are still with IE.
