This is Why Google Chrome Does not Support Google Toolbar

by Dinu

I found many people searching for google toolbar support for google chrome, and wondering why, it is not added to google chrome yet, both being Google’s projects and very popular at that.

New Here ? Read This Newbies Guide that will make master on Google Chrome in 10 minutes !

However, Google Is Bringing a lot of feature of Google Toolbar to Chrome by default.  Very soon, we will have the translation inbuilt to chrome via a Translation Bar and for others, there are official extensions available. Click here to find the full list. You can try this extension too

I also had no idea why this is so. But when I was uninstalling Google Toolbar from firefox, I kinda figured out why it is not there on Chrome yet.

Fact that we all know : We love the simple layout of Google Chrome for many reasons, and the most important reason : It gives more screen space. Google Chrome is designed to give you a better browsing experience, as far as space is concerned, and they have done this very well, and that does not come very easily … I am sure they have worked very hard on this.

general This is Why Google Chrome Does not Support Google Toolbar

Toolbar Chrome

If you have noticed, when Extensions are enabled, Google Chrome will not let them take more space from your screen area, that’s how they are making the extensions work too.

All this hard work, and they add Google Tool Bar to Chrome … then it will look a MESS !!

because it consumes so much from the screenspace… correct people ? Well, that should be the reason for Chrome still being away from Google Toolbar.

What Makes Me Think This Way

When you uninstall Google Toolbar on Firefox, you are supposed to tell them why you are doing that,  a feedback . And one among the most common reasons listed for you to select from is, ” It’s Taking My Screen Space” ( or something similar ? ). So, I would say, Google have enough feedback from toolbar users ( who uninstalled it ?  ) stating that they don’t want the google toolbar to take up more space.

So, in the current format, it’s not wise to add Google Toolbar to Chrome … what you think ?

Google Chrome Official Release ( Dev ) for Mac and Linux !!

by Dinu

And finally …..  sorry, I feel I need to add another “finalllyyyy” ( because, it took sooo long ) we have official releases of Google Chrome Linux and Mac OSX.

But wait, why am I so excited ? There is no need to be that much excited yet, since this is a developer version, where you can bugs, crashes and a lot of other issues, and missing features, but still, it makes me happy if not excited. Now, the funniest thing, they have added “don’t download” in caps, on the release post !! check this

In order to get more feedback from developers, we have early developer channel versions of Google Chrome for Mac OS X and Linux, but whatever you do, please DON’T DOWNLOAD THEM! Unless of course you are a developer or take great pleasure in incomplete, unpredictable, and potentially crashing software.
