Alternatively, if you own a Mac with OSX, you don't need this since the google deskbar is wonderfully integrated into the Safari web browser.
So Mac users thinking about switching to OS X may find a good point here. I actually must say Safari works fine, only suffering from a lesser-than-1% non-compatibility issue with websites only designed for IE.
Just for your info.

excellent!
Ruben, aren't you confused with the Toolbar? If your safari isn't running, do you still have the equivalent of this Google Deskbar?

Hi Michael. The answer to both questions is "no". The google bar is integrated into the browser, so it works basically with it (I actually cannot think of accessing google from other place than my browser). In addition, it does not incorporate the complex functionality Evert talked about, though it does include a couple of very nice functions (going back to the latest search - even if it was a 2nd, 3rd, etc. page of results, and a memory of recent searches).
Ever since I started working with it, Safari has become my favorite browser by far. I hate to have a lot of windows open, so tabs are a must; I need a flexible google functionality, and Safari provides it; I need a flexible favorites functionality, and Safari allows me to categorize them beautifully in a single favorites bar.
Bottom line: Even though I also own a PC with IE, I almost never use it (though I will check the google toolbar to see how it works) - actually only on those cases of pages specifically built for IE.
Have a nice day!
