Google has announced that its Toolbar for Internet Explorer is now dead, and users can’t download it anymore. Google Toolbar has been one of the longest living Google products that have been around for almost 20 years. It also inspired many of the features of today’s web browsers. However, it’s now in the company’s graveyard.
Google Toolbar was one of the most useful add-ons for Internet Explorer and offered some great features to users. Most of those features later came to the other web browsers.
Google Toolbar celebrated its 21st birthday on December 11, but just days after its birthday, Google decided to kill it. Google usually kills some of its services every few years. Also, it may replace them with new services, or integrate their features with existing services. But this time, there is no news of a new service or integration, and Google Toolbar has officially gone to the graveyard.
On the other hand, Microsoft has announced that it will end its support for Internet Explorer in the middle of 2022. Edge browser will replace it.
Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer reaches its end
Google Toolbar was a wonderful and useful add-on in the old days when web browsers were not as advanced as they are today. The Toolbar could add features like a popup blocker, search field, autofill, spell check, and Google Translate to Internet Explorer.
However, as time goes on and browsers improve, the Google Toolbar has lost its original usefulness. On the other hand, Internet Explorer was pushed out of the competition by competitors, and even Google itself no longer supported it.
One interesting thing about Google Toolbar was it allowed users to see what data Google is collecting from them through the Privacy section. This shows that Google has been more transparent in its early years.
However, every fairytale has an end, and Google Toolbar remains an important part of Internet history. Without it, you may feel lost or that you’re actually losing functionality. But there are still additional ways to access the things that Google Toolbar provided. As you can simply bookmark Google and other Google services to the bookmark bar.
