[ninjamonkey]

Does anyone have the google toolbar? what do you think of it? i just installed it and i have a few questions. what is the purpose of the PageRank thing? also, how do i view what pop-up the blocker blocked? can i do that?

[Marius24]

i got it and i love it



to view what it blocked, click on the page bnlocker thing and it reloads the page with the pop ups

should uninstall it, if you must have it, turn off page rank
page rank = spyware

thanks. but what is the point of the pagerank thing? like, why would anyone want it?

google only wants it to make it seem important all it is, is spyware

I love the google toolbar, not only is it an easy way to search google, it’s also a very good pop-up blocker. Yeah, and you should disable Pagerank, it gives you the option right during the install,

So its not really spyware, Google does tell you and give you the option to turn it off, so really its adware.

OK, I'm going to disable it, but what makes it spyware. and why is it bad?

I find it funny that you ask questions that your precious toolbar could anwser

Companies who pay google for advertising get a higher page rank meaning it is visited more no. of times than others.Have you tried the yahoo toolbar yet.It gives baseball,basketball scores;pop up blocker etc.
