Google Toolbar v.4

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-know-you-want-it dept.

SpecialSauce writes "Google's gone and released v.4 Beta of their toolbar. Updates include: customizable buttons, smart search box, a bookmark feature that's tied to the users google.com account, and a send to SMS/Blogger/gmail button." Doesn't look like the mac version is updated yet, although the shared bookmarks thing creates unholy lust in my heart. Now if only it would allow you to search multiple search engines like Firefox's built in search.

    Yes, I think Google will get right on that.

    Some bring out the best in others, some the worst. Some bring out far more.

      Nah man, its cool - some bookworms have an understanding about sharing, and prefer not to be in a binding relationship.

      Look, I know that you'd probably be very embarrassed if your friends and neighbors found all your searches and bookmarks for "post-op Asian trannies eating cheetos", but trust me, Google has seen worse.

    And since everything can be tied to your Google account, Google promises not to share any information gathered with the US Government. They will, however, send all your data to China.

      But it won't make it past the filter if it's incorrectly spelled.

    Soon, we will be able to download music from the toolbar too, probably.
