Google Toolbar 2.0 Beta

[Zucarita9000]

Anyone here using it? How good is the popup killer? How about stability? Any IE and/or OS crashes? I'm using IE6 SP1 and Win2k SP4....

Its awesome, the popup blocker blocks most everything (and sometimes some things it shouldn't, but I just reclick pressing ctrl). No crashes or anything that it has been involved with. Go for it.

Same here, and it's stable for me.

 

[Zucarita9000]

Ok, I guess I'll give it a try.

its excellent, it does let 1 or 2 popups through a day, but that's why its beta.

 

[Zucarita9000]

Wow, the popup killer is really good. The best way to test a popup killer is visiting some pr0n websites... no one so far!.

BTW, is there an option that resets the blocked popups counter?

 

[xizor]

no clue, but don't you want to see how many advertisements you've spited? 1910 so far here.

 

[Zucarita9000]

1910?!? That's a lot. Only 8 for me (I've been using it for about an hour)

 

[xizor]

and no p0rn sites, honestly! hopefully an awesome free pop up blocker will kill the entire pop up advertisement industry 1 msg at a time

 

[Zucarita9000]

What an idiot... right under my nose! "Options > More > Hide popup blocker count" is the last option in the list.

i think the final is out? popup blocker works awesome for me!

 

[thatsright]

Its the BEST, even for beta. Previously I used webwasher 3.3 and the array of configuration/options for that were a bit overwhelming. The only thing that the GG Beta blocker hasn't blocked are those super annoying overlay ads that are transparent over the webpage and are hard to tell were to click the X to get rid of. But webwasher also failed to block those sooo, can't fault G for that.

It's the best.

Final version IS out. Get it here. It's no different from the beta.

Google Toolbar is the best thing since sliced bread. All they need is a Mozilla Firebird version.

I agree. Although I don't use Firebird that ofthen, it would be nice.

Can anyone get the Beta toolbar to appear in _all_ Explorer windows? The toolbar only appears when I'm on a website, not while I'm running around my hard drive. Even unchecking and then rechecking 'Google toolbar' does not work. Windows 2000. The non-beta version is always displayed.

The toolbar only shows up in IE windows for me. Standard Explorer windows have the option, but nothing happens when I enable it.

What do you need a Firebird version for? Firebird already has the same functionality built in (unless you want all the page rank c@rp).
