The Alexa Toolbar

***Veridian3*** · Jul 25, 2003, 01:53 PM

Today i have been forwarded a link to a useful toolbar. The Alexa Toolbar is offered by amazon and has some features that you may find beneficial.

The 2 main features of interest are Google search and popup blocker. So for all of you with the google toolbar and seperate popup software this may be the tool for you. There are also nice features such as related sites where each time you visit a site the toolbar provides you with related links. For example, visiting driverheaven gives you links to omegacorner and rage3d.

If nothing else it saves you time, and thats always a good thing.

Find out more and download from here

Read the PRIVACY STATEMENT before deciding - Alexa is spyware by any definition of the term (as is Google toolbar unless you turn off PAGERANK)

Note particularly:
Method 2

And especially METHOD 3

Alexa is pervasive - and by many accounts, has not always been as open in their disclosure as they are now.
