New MSN Toolbar

[Slick6]

MSN made a new toolbar.
http://toolbar.msn.com/
Looks like the google toolbar with close to the same features except it links to Messenger and Hotmail. I'll try it later and report what I think of it. You can also express your opinion. I just thought that you guys might be interested as you are always looking for faster, better, and easier programs.

Yes we are looking for, I quote:"faster, better, and easier programs", but the ironic thing is that it is MSN, how on the face of the planet can it be faster and better. Internet Explorer is basically the slightly less obese rhinoceros that Windows is. If you download the plug in for IE its more likely going to take twice as long to load and be filled with coding blunders and be patched every two seconds. This allowing Microsoft to collect anonymous data from your computer. Sure it is anonymous? I mean the anonymous CD-KEY registry entry collections that gets cross referenced with Microsoft’s customer registration files. Great, they don’t even know I exist, cool!

It’s also bound to come up with those awesome breakthroughs in Internet technology those awesome streaming advertisements with gimmicky flashing text. Basically Microsoft is saying, "You are supporting us, we don't care so we give you these cool adverts - A real bargain for you!” – “We really know you want these enlarging pills, they really work they have our word on them!”

I'd steer clear of it, because on the website I quote: "No personal information required!" We'll collect it from you!

Good luck in slimming down that wild African beast of yours.

Too close to Google's Toolbar.

I tried it, I don't like it. Download Google's.

I like Google's simple design, MSN's design is to cluttered.

Ok, I decided to try it out, and compare. This is how my MSN toolbar look's without all the MSN and stuff away from the toolbar.

I don't like it much...

All toolbars suck. Get Firefox, it has built in Google search and pop up blocking.

Well, uh, I didn't catch that. Anyways, get FireFox.

 

[WanganDreams]

are there any security issues that relate to FireFox?

Just wondering

 

[Burnout]

Nothing compared to MSIE.

 

[LoudMusic]

Interesting. I believe I'll bastardize a computer later and install all the toolbars I can find. If you guys would like to help with a list I'll check out most anything you post here.

Just to clearify, nothing compares to MSIE in security hole aspects, MSIE is horribly unsafe.

ToolBars:
Yahoo!
Google
MSN
Umm, other ones...
