Google updates toolbar

Google is releasing new beta versions of its Google Toolbar for consumers and corporations. After Google Toolbar 4.0 is released publicly on Monday, new custom buttons will let people run search queries directly on any Web site from their toolbar.

People can easily create their own buttons from Web sites, and developers will be able to use a new XML application-programming interface to create more advanced buttons. Bookmarks can be saved to a user's Google account so they can be accessed from any computer.

The enhanced search offers query suggestions and spelling corrections. Users can send Web pages via Gmail or mobile text messaging or to a blog with the click of a button. The new enterprise edition lets administrators control which features to enable. Google Toolbar 4.0 beta for Internet Explorer will initially be available in English, and in more than 16 languages by the end of March. It runs on Windows XP.

What about Firefox?
by qazwiz January 30, 2006 11:28 PM PST
So when do they release version four for Firefox? (or v3 for that matter)

They still haven't got Firefox's autofill to work with credit cards yet, are they I(nternally) E(xploring) for their Head? why not pay attention to a browser that doesn't need three digits (or is IE up to four) to enumerate the fixes for their built in security problems?

Yes, the custom buttons is great and long awaited feature. Now I can access to my favorite web-services directly from toolbar.

Especially to Yahoo! Site Explorer from Google Toolbar - sound unbelievable, or not? :)

Just another two buttons - http://www.irnis.net/soft/gtbb/ - for Yahoo! and Furl.Net.
