Google toolbar?

Hi,
I know most of the users are using google toolbar. IS it really an important & useful feature for you? Is it slowing down your surfing speed?

I have been using google toolbar for a long time & I like it. Some options that I love to have like the "spellcheck ", the translate menu, the autofill option, the word or phrase search and selection with just one click. I have disabled some options that make the bar phone home eventually, so it is perfectly safe to use for me.

My favorite uses for the Google toolbar are:
1)Bookmarks
2)Pagerank
3)Gmail
4)Autofill
5)Cached Pages

Personally, toolbars take up screen space and I don't care for them.
For Google Toolbar's privacy.

I never faced any problem using Google toolbar.
Google toolbar is useful tool which can be used to get your gmail quickly,you can check page rank of the website and also can google search easily.:notworthy

Thanks for the reply guys but my question is still unanswered dose this affect your browsing speed? like google desktop search?

Nope, mate. I am using Google Toolbar since last 2 years and it never affects my surfing speed. If you think so, check out using two different browsers like if you have Google toolbar installed on IE, check out surfing speed on Mozilla Firefox and vise-versa. But in my experience I never remember if it affects the speed of surfing. :no:
