IE’s Yahoo! Toolbar

IE toolbar

IE users, or individuals who often find themselves doing the routine clean sweep and maintenance of family / friends computers should take a look at the latest offering from Yahoo. The Yahoo toolbar – available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox – offers a considerable feature set including tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, and an integrated ant-spyware shield. Even more interesting is the fact that both del.icio.us (which offers the same features of the FF extension) and Flickr are integrated into the toolbar (you’ll need to edit the toolbar settings for access).

While tabs are a little slow on redraw, users can open tabs using CTRL + T. Check it out if you’re hesitant to run the IE7 Beta 2 build.

I almost… Almost forgot that I was using Internet Explorer 6 while running the Yahoo toolbar.

    I’ve actually preferred the del.icio.us extension for firefox rather than FF extension. It lets you right click on a link and save that to your del.icio.us without even opening the page

    They copied the idea from the MSN’s IE toolbar.

    Me thinks you forgot to put a link to the toolbar! ;)
