Google Toolbar 5 beta review in brief

Google Toolbar 5 Beta - ummm, I'm not too keen to be honest. It has the same privacy issues as Google Chrome, which I've blogged about before. When you open a new tab, you get screenshots of your most recently visited pages with links to them. I'm not really sure I like the idea of this since its pretty much advertising who you bank with, what affiliate accounts you have e.t.c. e.t.c. to anyone who happens to be looking over yhour shoulder. I also have a bit of an issue with the new Page Rank-ometer which is now squashed up to a third of its normal size making it difficult to tell a website's Page Rank by eye. I'd say either keep it or dump it, as a demoted feature its just an annoyance.

I think the former version is batter one. The worst thing is they have changed PR bar, so we have to check the PR everytime by putting the cursor on the bar.

i share what you guys feel about the pr bar... it's a little thing that was altered but it's 'a lot of work' having to check the pr every time you need to...

Nice information! I agree with nicole that former version was very good. Now with new version, we have to check pr by putting cursor on it. Sometimes we can't take judgment between pr 2 and 3.

well,The Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer does more than give IE a shot of nitro. With a set of features both useful and self-promoting, Google Toolbar 5 beta feels like it adds four cylinders to IE's engine, turning it into a powerhouse of personalized functionality for both IE 7 users and those who are stuck on IE 6.
