ie finally gets built-in popup blocking...

[Q Classic]

sorta.

through google toolbar 2.0, anyway.

it's in beta now, but i'm going to use it for my ie. even if i usually do use opera instead.

[Az]

Isn't google toolbar spyware or something?

[Ecthy]

Never in our lives will IE have built in popup blocking.

opera!

[chequita guevara]

Some pop-ups are actually useful.

[Ecthy]

chegitz, requested popups can be enabled in any recent opera version.

not requested opoups are ALWAYS advertisement, unless they're private messages in new windows.

[Q Classic]

well you're *technically* able to disable the spyware features of the google toolbar.

in any case, i too use opera for most of my browsing--there are the few sites which it can't render though, and that's why ie or mozilla come in.

of all "spyware", the google toolbar is the only one i'm comfortable with.

Opera > *
Who needs a Google toolbar if all of its functionality is already built-in?

[Asher]

Opera has PageRank, highlighting, google-search-on-toolbar, etc?

[monolith94]

Gee, does it? That's nice - I've had it for months now... Thanks apple!

[Asher]

Don't thank Apple, thanks KDE...they made the code for it years ago.

Apple repackaged it...

I really don't care if it's built in. I've had free popup blockers for years, too, and it's far more powerful than Safari's (blacklisting, whitelisting).

Nope...

But Opera has everything else... No more IE for me, and if your site doesn't work in Opera? Too bad, there are a lot of other sites I can go to.

To paraphrase GP and Derek: OPERA! OPERA! OPERA!

Go for it, I'll help you out.

If the truth is bashing and negative critisism, it's not me who's to blame, but Apple.

Apple took KHTML and reskinned it and added a few contributions to the source. Suddenly Mac users think it's some huge innovation or something.

I've been using KHTML far before Safari came out.

Are they providing $1B in AIDS funding for Africa like some-other-tech-company?

Opera does have google-search-on-toolbar. And Amazon search. And eBay search. And download.com search. And lots more that I never use.

[Asher]

IE has google-search-on-toolbar too, in a way, with the stock IE.

If I type in a word in the address bar, it recognizes it's not a website and searches google for it.
