03.09.08

Google Toolbar for Chrome SEO version< click to Test

this should work as a normal short cut in Firefox, Opera and Chrome

in chrome pres ctrl-b and drag the word SEO on the toolbar


Ok after searching and searching is there anything out there that can add toolbars or Addons on to Chrome, can anyone point me in the right redirect..

I want :

a Stumble Upon toolbar for Chrome

    Anyone checked out the EULA for Chrome? Google have full control over any information that you put into the browser and can use it as and how they wish. That’s enough to put me off.

    “Who reads an EULA? I bet most companies do this. Jesus.” - probably the same people who don’t bother reading the small print in their insurance and get caught out. I’d certainly agree most companies have restrictive EULA’s but check out what G are saying - “You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.” what other individuals, companies and organizations?

    Everyone is talking about plugins, but not many people are acknowledging the other things it’s doing well so far…speed because of multi-threading, and a minimalistic approach. With my aging computer, I love squeezing out every bit of speed I can, and this browser is fast - buy me a few more months before I’m forced to upgrade.
    Just like all new software, we’ll just have to give developers time to create plugins.

    I haven’t found any add-ons yet or plugins though i did read the whole comic strip which has allot about plugins.

    Google does advertising… do you expect them to do anything less than collect info so addwords can work better? My biggest flaw right now is that there is no ”
    add to dictionary” option for ‘misspelled’ words.

    NO , IT DOESN’T REQUIRES ANY GOOGLE TOOLBAR . The address bar itself gives an option to make google search for what ever u type .

    It is fast, but not sure the claims that it’s foot print is smaller. Each tab opens separate process alongside the main chrome.exe. When you add up all the individual processes it’s pretty much the same as FF3. I guess it does mean a tab should never crash he whole browser… but not had a tab crash yet so can’t test that!

    the browser IS fast because its minimalistic but I miss my plugins!!! They’ll have to come out with them fast to keep people hooked..

    and tho its useful to an extent…who (like me) thinks that the address bar is a little too suggestive and confines the spirit of random searches!! ;)

    I agree with DaveN, google toolbar isn’t just for searching with. It allows me to keep all my bookmarks with me wherever I am, it helps me to translate some pages, … well, if you have used it, you know what I’m talking about :) We need add-ons like these, until then, I don’t feel confortable using Chrome :(

    I also want Adblock Plus. On Firefox or Netscape Navigator 9, it blocks them from downloading using a filter subscription blacklist/whitelist. You can add to the blacklist or whitelist. This will block most ads, even Google Adsense ones, Sorry Google. Hopefully,there can be a Chrome Version.

    Hi all!

    I downloaded and installed the Google Chrome browser, yesterday. However I haven’t any idea how I can find and install the Google Toolbar. At first I checked the official toolbar.google.com but I didn’t find any solution for Google Chrome. Ok I know this browser is on a beta level, but it’s funny that the Google doesn’t support their own product . . .

    Yet another browser, I don’t think we need another browser. Firefox is perfectly fine and has all the addons you will ever need. Just what the Firefox addon creators need, to port their addons to yet another browser, and not spend that time making their addons better…

    Hmmmmm yes, i would like my google toolbar in chrome.
    I understand chrome is BETA, but it still looks a little bare. IE-7 shows your open tabs on one page like the chrome ” Most Visited ” page so thats nothing special.
    It is still a nice look though.

    And one more thing i just did - closed the whole browser with all my tabs i had open, the question didnt show up ” do you want to close all tabs ” I have got used to this and it saves you if you or your possessed mouse ( haha ) decide to close your browser before you can finish or save whatever you were working on.

    I must say i dont like the way the blocked pop up bar shows up on the bottom and blends in blue with the browser itself. Can the color change ? I didnt notice it at first.

    You need all the nifty little google tools that we have loved about google toolbar.

    We love our add ons and bookmarks and busy tools always at hand. Never mind stats for nerds……………..give us tools !!!

    Please ……..Thankyou

    ys they have just launched the beta version and this is the early phaze. i think they have done a nice job with it so far. the facilities that are given there are worth a lot and so i think they will develop this in to a very good browser and that time they will def. give such options.

    “NO , IT DOESN’T REQUIRES ANY GOOGLE TOOLBAR . The address bar itself gives an option to make google search for what ever u type .”

    have you considered the fact that the google toolbar can be used to lots of other stuff than the search, which the address bar for sure don’t support!

    An interesting thing I picked up, if you open the bookmarks toolbar, and click on the bookmarks folder the top of the list is an option to
    “Get Bookmark Addons”

    After pressing this you are taken to Mozillas firefox addons site and the bookmarks category.

    But try installing one, you cant!!

    Maybe something to look out for in a very near future, after all if its using mozilla tech, why not run FF extensions, it would open their browser up to a lot more users and plugins very quickly!!

    I would imagine part of that agreement is how they are able to use adwords and such so sufficiently. They use your content, to market to your page, or any other page for that matter. If they ARE giving information to the U.S of A then, well, I guess we’re all in trouble huh?

    I like the chrome browser! It does need to include the rich Google features that we are used to via the toolbar.
    -Bookmarks (only use Google bookmarks so they are on each of my pc’s)
    -Notebook plugin.
    -ability to add search buttons *news *Finance etc..
    -Gmail …although you can give this an application feel, I like having it in tabs so that mail/ cal/ docs can be open in separate tabs. it is cleaner to me this way than having 20 items in the task bar.

    Many of you are LOOKING RIGHT PAST A QUANTUM LEAP… or at least a minor paradigm shift ;-)
    Things like toolbars and other client-side apps are becoming a thing of the past!!! We are going full-circle back to the server-terminal model, except this time, the clients (terminals) are smart and the connection to the server is really, really fast.

    I missed my Google Toolbar right away, but after seeing that:

    1 - the spell-check is built-in to Chrome (like FireFox)
    2 - I can manage my bookmarks online http://www.google.com/bookmarks/
    3 - I can embed my bookmarks into my iGoogle page
    4 - I can use the bookmarks feature in Google Notebook http://www.google.com/notebook
    5 - I can stretch my imagination to other solutions - mostly online ideas!

    Embrace the new ideas, no matter which browser you use.

    Oh, for all you “privacy” fear mongers: your ISP and several of your “helper/toolbar/e-mail/widget” developers already “know” everything you do online (you and 265 million others) - at least Google wouldn’t exploit that in any descernable way even if they did care enough to have a human snoop on “you” - i.e. tracking every single move of millions of people doesn’t invade the “privacy” of any individual… you just aren’t that important and they *really* don’t care what anarchist/porn/perversion/silliness you consume.

    I love chrome, it’s so fast as compared to FF on the sites I visit regularly. However I think I’m going to have to go back to FF until there are either functions built-in, or add-ons created that replicate adblock, flashblock, and the Google toolbar highlighting.

    For those idiots here mouthing off about the Google toolbar search being built in and the rest of us should learn to use our computers, shut up. You’re just making your self look really stupid as you obviously have no idea what all the toolbar can do. The search bar in chrome doesn’t have a 1/4 of the usefulness the toolbar does. Go look at what all the tool bar can do and shut up until you understand why you’re so very wrong.

    For the Firefox users that said

    I bet many people were saying that when Firefox was in its early days.

    If you don’t like it, just don’t use it, there’s no need to complain about someone trying to do something new.

    I love FF, and I think Chrome looks good, but I don’t plan to switch until Chrome supports all my FF goodness, and I’m content with waiting.

    Who knows, Mozilla may even improve FF in the meantime, more competition means we all win.

    Without a proper Google Bookmarks button, an “Up one level” button, a way to highlight search terms on the page, as well as add-ons like the one that allows to duplicate a tab with one click, Chrome usefulness is really limited and I don’t see how it is really better than IE8.

    I agree with one post here: I don’t think the Googs (my name for ‘em) will ever allow an adblocker - ads are their main source of income, after all

    If one wants an addblocker one will have to download and install one.

    I have read at the Techno Babel Blog that Privoxy will work, but it will have to be configured withing Chrome to do the job.

    Here’s the link to it:

    http://www.privoxy.org/

    Reviews at Techno Babel say it works. I haven’t tried it yet, but I believe it’s the thing to use.

    It should be no problem for those who read and post here as most are not likely to be Eternal Noobs looking for turnkey software.

    Why do you look for a toolbar? :) address bar is already a google toolbar.you set a default search engine whlie you are installing chrome. If you type your search to the address bar, it will automatically make a search on google and display results. I dont think that google will make a google toolbar for chrome:)

    Is google going to create a toolbar for their bookmark app? It seems to me this would have been included with chrome, this is very disappointing.

    whiners!
    I love firefox, but it’s slow on a few of my machines and has crashed quite a few times lately causing me to loose some bookmarks.

    Chrome is fast and hardly ever crashes (I have crashed it several times with over 15 tabs! don’t try this at home, kids)

    I miss autofill, so if its a form I use ff. for all other browsing - chrome is rockin my pc.

    Add-ons, plug-ins and so on are still extremely rare. Those that have been released most of them come with detailed instructions how to manually install, create new folders, copy files to it and so on. Is this 2009?
    Lori tobby, as mentioned by several writers before, Google toolbar is much more advanced than the chrome address/search bar.

    True, Google chrome is faster than Firefox, in theory it should be more crash proof (not by my experience), it should be safer (I wonder), crashing one process shouldn’t crash all tabs (not true). So far it’s not convincing to me. I’ll stick to Firefox for at least another year.

    Google chrome has a built in google toolbar in the address bar, so quit crying and enjoy Google Chrome. People its opensource (its free) so quit complaining and take advantage of the speed(faster than the speed of light, it bends space and time to meet your needs).
