Google – один из самых популярных и удобных search engines, which are increasingly preferred by users. But it is also a huge company that develops various services and applications for the most comfortable and enjoyable use of the Internet. One of the first developments (after Search, Directory and, of course, AdWords) was the Google Toolbar.
The program was created and offered forinstallation in the most popular at that time (2000) browser Internet Explorer. This was convenient for users, because there was no built-in search in IE, and it was beneficial for the creators, as it was a great way to promote the new add-on. Since then, a lot of time has passed and, naturally, the panel has undergone significant changes.
Among the most popular components thatcontains the Google Toolbar, you can name the built-in search on the site page, automatic translation of content, tips for incorrectly entered addresses, spelling, blocking pop-ups, and others. These tools are really useful and greatly facilitate the work of the user. Over time, some of them were built into IE. In general, this browser was the only one in which the search from Google was not by default. That's why Google Toolbar was the most important addition for him.
Some people are wondering if there is such a panelGoogle tools for Opera. No, the special version was developed (in addition to IE) only for FireFox, but its development stopped in 2011. In addition, today the company fully supports and promotes Chrome, which, according to the results of the research carried out, is the most popular. In this regard, the Google Toolbar is currently simply supported in the working mode, but is not updated.
Теперь все функции Google Toolbar встроены в Chrome. If you use this browser, then all the necessary tools are there. However, if you still decide to install the Google Toolbar in IE, then it's worth to learn more about its capabilities. Here's what it includes:
- Live Search - by entering a word, you see clues inin the form of the most popular queries (starting with the corresponding letters) that users are looking for. Thus, it is not necessary for you to completely write the word / phrase.
- Google bookmarks that can be opened from any computer (stored in your account).
- Translation (by mouse over or automatically the entire page).
- Check spelling - errors are highlighted in red, and when you hover the cursor shows the correct version.
- Autocomplete - eliminates the need to enter a name, username, phone number and so on each time.
- Button "+1" - allows you to share useful and interesting information with friends.
- Google+ alerts (when a new message arrives, the corresponding button is highlighted in red).
- Settings that allow you to edit the Google Toolbar (remove or add tools, labels on buttons, etc.).
In general, this supplement is quite convenient anduseful. Today, however, many use the Chrome browser, which already contains all these settings. And secondly, the minimalistic design of other services is not very well combined with such a panel, which looks rather cumbersome, not very modern and, sometimes, slows down the work.
