    Google's toolbar getting more obnoxious today?!

    just shows you how toolbars are out of control, it seems that google's toolbar updates itself without asking and probably communicates to homebase conitnually too I wouldn't doubt


    I noticed today it got more obnoxious, with popping up 'help' balloons for great new features, and when I did a ctrl-F to do a search it has hijacked that and has a new search function in IE

    I wonder how much spyware type activity is going on with the google toolbar

    probably time to uninstall it on my main browsing browser

      I removed it about a month ago right after it updated itself and had the fucking GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe running in the background 24/7


      Install Microsoft Network Monitor 3, then you see exactly how often the google toolbar calls home. All the MS haters would go nuts if it was MS that did this

      The first company that designs and publish a OS toolsuite instead of pre2000 Browser toolbars, will take crossplatform interaction to a new level.

      Right now it looks like it will be MS with the "accelerate" function. But I want to see it work before I reccomend it

      Check the Alexa dev forum. There are many ideas but very little action

              Google is the biggest database of people's behavior on line in the world. None of google services work if you block cookies. Your cookie has a unique identifier that collects and stores information about what you do and where you go. It's worse than facebook.

                          just went through: Tools>>Manage Add Ons>>Disable Add Ons

                          and disabled all of the google stuff, and found more add ons I didn't even realize were there

                                      This coming from a guy running Internet Explorer? Go sit down.

                                      I love Vista and stand by my assessment. Anyone who has issues with it just doesn't know how to use it properly.

                                              I run IE, Firefox, and SeaMonkey

                                              sometimes we are 'forced' to deal with Microsoft, but if given the choice between XP and Vista I take XP (and I have both running on different computers, still use my older XP machine more)


                                              anyways this has gone off topic, the only reason I posted about your OS was because your post wrongly assumed that Vista had anything to do with the problem in this thread

                                                          Are you serious? You must be reading a different thread. I believe you were the first to mention anything about an operating system. Mine was the one with the Google toolbar option circled.
