"A useful edition to any browser"
Pros: convenient and adds a lot of subtle features to your surfing experience
Cons: inconsistent across browers, certain features need work
Summary: I've had the change to use the Google Toolbar both on IE (the current beta version) and for Firefox and I'm generally impressed with both products.
The Firefox version works great considering you can customize your layout so you don't end up with two search windows plus the integration of independent extensions like Google Safe Browsing are welcome additions.
The IE edition boasts a lot of promising features like the Bookmarks tool and the ability to customize the toolbar buttons.
Both browsers a weakened by the fact that one has features the other doesn't. Plus for the IE version, one cannot remain logged in for long periods of time since it constantly times out, thus requiring you to log in to each Google service manually.
Overall, they're very useful additions to any computer. Let's just hope Google works out the kinks in the coming months.
