Firefox has a Google search built in, and blocks popups more effectively. I also heard this is used for data mining, etc. ;)

Does it have spell checker, auto-fill, auto-link or anything else I've mentioned? That is, after all, the point of this post. :P I'm not comparing software (nor will I from this point on in this topic).

If its a data miner, I still don't want it, nor do I need it. If you're dependant upon a spell-checker for regular use, you might as well quit at life. Also, if you can't remember your own address, you also need help. Auto-link? Whats that, so I can bash it?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Quit life because you're bad at spelling? Wow, you're dumb (just kidding, but that was a pretty stupid comment).

Joe, it saves time. You click a button and it fills it in for you. Christ. Read before you post.

Google toolbar rox, kthxbai.

And at your last comment: You can select if you want to to collect data about the pages you visit. It's not a forced thing. There is no malicious intent for this software. If you're bashing on Google in any way, you should be shot. Seriously. Shot.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Topic split. Joe this is the software review forum, not argue about the program and be an asshole forum. I don't want to see this kind of attitude in a forum that was created to help people.
It is good to be good, but it is better to be lucky.
