    ...and all this time I thought the toolbar was a virus or spamware.

    Does this mean they have figured out how to port spyware to linux/MAC?

    I don't think there's a big market for toolbars that just repeat stories from a week ago.

    What they should do is release a toolbar for Mozilla Suite as well and not only Firefox.
    And Google needs to release the toolbar for Linux.

    Though, even if they did that, I'd still continue using Opera :)

    Ok, that was scary. I just re-read my article right after posting and read, "Slashdot Toolbar," as, "Slashdot Trollbar." Methinks a slashdot trollbar would probably be bad,... very, very bad,... ;-)

    Line 2: fatal basic grammar error (illegal possessive apostrophe).

    Yahoo has released a beta version of it's toolbar for Firefox. The new toolbar is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    A solution is available for your error: go back to school.

    For future reference, see this document.

    "Protect yourself from spyware with Anti-Spy for Windows"

    First it's the anti-virus industry totally ignoring Mac and Unix users. Now Google and Yahoo leave Mac and Unix users to swing in the wind. Does anyone have anti-spyware for something other than Windows?

    I don't want to have to switch to Windows just to get this support.

    Hey, a Slashdot toolbar! It could make kneejerk inflammatory comments about whatever you're browsing for, without actually reading the web pages!

    Just think how much time it would save! I'd never have to post on Slashdot again! :-)
