Great news!

Does anyone actually use tool-bars nowadays?

I've always wanted a wide selection, and thanks to Plus! I've now got that!

I'm sorry, but any toolbar I ever come across gets uninstalled; even if it's not on my computer. I remember Windows 98 with IE (5?) and just having toolbars everywhere.

1. They take up valuable screen real estate (no matter how big your monitor is)
   
2. They usually either never get used or have useless functions
   
3. Most toolbars that at least used to be available came with every form of adware, spyware crap you can imagine

So while I normally stick up for Plus! (and don't think I'm knocking it either), toolbars don't feel like the right route to go down. I know I for one still don't trust them. From anybody. And why do we need so many? Incorporate everything into one, less bloat for the user. It's spreading its self to thin in my opinion. I'd spend more time on building a solid money making product than I few seemingly half-assed ones

AFAIK everything is incorporated into a single toolbar. As I understand it the 3 Conduit Applications as they are called are essentially elements you can add to any Conduit toolbar.

The Messenger Plus! toolbar bundled with Plus! currently is the only toolbar from Yuna, and that one probably already comes with those 3 "apps" by default.

Putting this content in the Conduit App Marketplace just enables people who have another Conduit toolbar installed to add the Plus! content to their existing toolbar. Essentially exactly to prevent situations as in Biller's pic .

Since when do these apps work in Google Chrome?  Just went to have a look, and clicking add starts the download of an extension...  and it works. 

and i thought  we all loved our toolbars   .. well i dont think toolbars anymore is necessary thing for Browsers anymore, its like Chrome, all you have to do is type in the Address bar what your looking for and it'll automatically search in Google search for you,  ( i think Firefox4 wil be the same to eventually ) 

Blah, although I don't like the toolbars either, I don't see why people are complaining.. They make money off this and between that and the old sponsor I prefer that..

and yes them publishing it here sucks a little but it's not like it's worst than the useless 15 threads a day Chrissy makes about the world's most complicated and never seen before computer complication. just ignore it and move on.

[/rant]

maybe they could make a Chrissy toolbar

but even if you install Plus5 and install the toolbar, you can always uninstall it soon afterwards, 

Toolbars? It isn't 2003.

I'm sure people are looking forward to another great feature from you, exit from Messenger and have 50 Messenger windows pop up asking if your sure you want to exit.

Are you guys smoking crack or something? In fact even on drugs these are all fucking shit.


WTF ARE YOU DOING YUNA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
