14 Popular Browser Toolbars Reviewed - The Worthwhile and the Worthless SEOMoz (Jan 18)
Good description of browser toolbars. Assess the use to "ordinary users" and "web professionals" (ie web developers and Internet marketers). Looks at the search engine toolbars (Google, Yahoo, Live, Ask) and typically assigns a low to medium value to "ordinary users". Google Toolbar was ranked at Medium even though it has many useful functions - select the Google search, fill in forms. I would have assessed it at Medium to High. Surprisingly gives a medium to high ranking for the Stumbleupon toolbar because "possibility of finding amazing new stuff is irresistible." Groowe toolbar got a high as well - it provides quick access to multiple search engines - but so does the Firefox browser.
