same.

that's why i dont use any toolbars, and advise anybody who comes to me for computer advice to do the same.

back when IE didnt have built-in popup blocking, then google toolbar was warranted. since then.. it's not necessary.

besides, firefox > IE anyways.

I use the following Google products on a least a weekly basis:
Search
Maps
Earth
Mail
Trends
iGoogle
Reader
Video
News

I don't hate or love Google. Their products are useful and free, so I use them.
