Hi Guys,

Google its now advertising their new popup blocking toolbar on the frontsite (screenshot) of many google tlds .ch .com.co com.ar.

I've seen it at the bottom of some .com SERPs, but you're right, they're shamelessly self-promoting on the front pages of those languages. :)

I think that Toolbar 2.0 is now available in several non-English languages, so we're letting people know. We run toolbar info messages from time to time on our home page, and now you can get the form-filling/popup-blocking toolbar in several other languages..

The toolbar was always such a cool idea, and now that it does more than just search you will get more people to install it. The autofill feature, not for me :D

As usual, great marketing showing a graphic of the toolbar in the other language (on the front page of course). Bet the conversion rate is over 90%. :)

Different Languages = Nice to have
Different OSes = Must have

Honestly when can we expect some Linux Support, or at least Mozilla Support.
The only reason why we still have 1 windoze running here is that there are no PR-Tools other than the googlebar.

The Google Zeitgeist [google.com] shows Linux as 1% (probably rounded up) of Google's traffic compared to 91% for Windows. I wouldn't hold my breath on the Linux Toolbar.

You might want to check out [googlebar.mozdev.org...]
plasma. That's what I use on Linux/Mozilla.

I need the PR Display, and you can only get that with Windows + IE (and both suxx ;)

I have always wondered by Google never promoted their toolbar on *all* search result pages? Seems like logical thing to do and an opportunity lost!

GoogleGuy probably has a better way of getting PR than the toolbar...

I've always hated toolbars because they are usually self serving (most are there to promote their own sites). But I actually find the google bar usefull (the 'blog this' feature is what made me try it).
