but i've gotta say, you just can't beat ctrl+k. Google toolbar may be nice and dandy, but if i recall correctly, they didnt have any hotkey features (maybe they'll have it in the firefox version). Those lazy bastards aren't taking over the world quickly enough)
#GOOGLE TOOLBAR FOR FIREFOX 8.0 DOWNLOAD FREE#
(Cause providing the best search engine, the best free email, and google maps is nowhere near good enough, dammitl. As it is, they are being a little inefficient here. Firefox is all early adopters I think google would have great success on all fronts testing out all their really forward thinking ideas on FF and then porting the stuff that works well to IE. I think instead of porting the IE stuff to FF, google should use the easy extensibility of FF as a way for easy experimentation and come up with some wild stuff that hasn't been seen yet. So while I like their probable motivation, I don't know how useful the extra % or two of functionality is going to be. I admit that it has been a long time since I had google toolbar for IE, but I only ever used it for two things: popup blocking and easy access to a google search. why would anyone want microsuck suggesting sites? Just pull the darn button over to the right of the the links toolbar, tighten the browser until it drops into the overflow, open the overflow, right click the suggested sites link and hit delete with such force that bully gates could feel it slapping his face.While I think it's really cool that Google is giving a wink and a nod to alternative browsers, OSS, and the whole shebang, I have to wonder how useful this will be. The forward and back buttons are glued to the left hand side of the browser… I find this so annoying to be unbearable and has switched browsers… imagine me on a 28″ screen and my cursor on the scrollbar… to access the forward.back buttons is a roundtrip across miles of open space… its just natural for the mouse to be on the right side of the screen when browsing but some college kid donkey at microsuck decided to pin the back buttons to the left of the screen – IE6 the back button could have been positioned when you wanted it.ģ/ Finally found a way to get rid of that tacky sugested sites garbage. It also happens that some icons do not appear in the command toolbar but have to be accessed by clicking on the down arrow on the right of it which indicates that there are more items in the toolbar.įeel free to add any annoyance that you have encountered while using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8.Ĭlicking the chevron at the far right of the links toolbar to access the overflow dropdown causes a delay of about 15 secs before the dropdown shows… absolutely annoying. The web browser uses an icon in the command bar that gives access to RSS feeds which is not helpful if the user has set the command toolbar to hidden or does not pay attention to it. RSS FeedsĪll popular web browsers display a RSS feed indicator in the address bar except for Internet Explorer 8. This could easily be solved by a set of advanced configuration settings where experienced (or annoyed) users could disable those confirmation dialogs.
Internet Explorer 8 will display a confirmation dialog as well asking the user to confirm the action. It is for example possible to drag images from the web browser to the computer desktop. The same is true for dragging and dropping elements to the computer system. You click on Exit Game and they display a confirmation dialog "do you really want to exit the game?". That's practically the same annoyance that game developers like to use when exiting their games.
The annoying thing is that Internet Explorer 8 will always display a confirmation dialog "Do you want to put a shortcut to this website on your desktop".
If you want to create a page shortcut on the computer desktop you only need to right-click the page in Internet Explorer 8 and select Create Shortcut.
