Just install it already!
March 24th, 2008 Posted in InternetIf you have never been asked to install the Google toolbar before then you have not spent much time on the web. Just today I was asked by 5 different programs if I would like to install the Google toolbar. Granted they have a nice way of asking with their little uncheck here box, but if I wanted it, I would of had it 300 installs ago…
Google is by far not the worst. There are a lot of spy-ware toolbars that are hard to get rid of and install without your knowledge. To better understand why we need toolbars just try disabling (right click on the toolbar and uncheck it by name) and see if your life is changed at all. The truth is that FireFox, IE7 or any other respectable browser has a pop-up blocker and search field built in. So if you want to get some of your valuable browser real-estate back disable or uninstall your toolbar.
