Mozilla Google Toolbar - Googlebar


With my new found excitement over Firebird, there was only one thing that was really missing from a possible ultimate browser, that's right the Google Toolbar. Some developers over at mozdev.org have been beavering away and the official version 0.6 is coming out very soon. There's actually features that I didn't even know Google toolbar had, but it sits very nicely at the top of my navigation. Firebird does look a tad stupid with 2 google search boxes, but I'll see what I can do. One thing I just noticed was that it is able to active the google keyboard shortcuts, which you may have seen from the google labs. This is one funky idea they made a while back and it makes browsing the SERPS a complete breeze.

However, there is some bad news and its the one thing that might stop you from bothering to install it, there is no pagerank reader or voting buttons. Read this:
Quote:
The Internet Explorer version has feature X (like pagerank). Why don't you?
The Googlebar project is an independent organization, which means that although we try to copy some of the functions in IE, we start from scratch without any access to how Google does things, and some features, such as pagerank, appear to be proprietary. If there's a feature in the IE toolbar that you would like to see in the Googlebar, we'd welcome any contributions of code. We currently have no plans to implement pagerank or the voting buttons due to their proprietary nature.

And here's the link:
