I do not like any toolbars as they have the ability to track your every move.

If I were to use a toolbar:

Thanks!

But it doesn't have any anti-spy or any other security

you're looking for trouble man, drop the toolbar thing, they're all crap  ;) (agreed Google might be the less malicious though...). Anti-Spy one ? Comodo HopSurf... I woundn't use it even if you paid me for this  ;D

These toolbars make me crazy. Nowadays there are lots of toolbars. One of the most crap is the Ask Toolbar which you usually get with many freeware softwares.

Simply, just to answer my friend who needs a toolbar like CA Yahoo. I told him there is no need for toolbars. This caused me to do some research. Curious.

One of my pesky friends who need an answer now

But somehow his brain is an AMD not INTEL. Just kidding ;D ;D ;D

Hi,

As I am a Firefox user, I have found that WOT (Web of Trust) for website ratings. And Finjan secure browsing for scanning links work very well! I find no use for toolbars, they take up too much space on my screen and provide things you already have such as Google Search...etc.
