Google Toolbar 2.0 ** Final **

I went to install Google Toolbar 2.0 on my wife's computer and I noticed that I didn't have to go to a beta page anymore.  I guess version 2.0 is final now!  For those of you who used the previous version, the big thing that 2.0 adds for me is popup blocking.  It also adds some other cool features listed below:

** update: Someone commented below that this version has the same version number as the beta.  Probably nothing has changed since beta but the 1.0 toolbar is history.

  • who goes with advanced features and who turns it off



    I'd be interested to see the proportions.

  • it's the beta, badged as final. The version id is the same as the beta (2.0.95-big/en).



    It still has a bug - it sometimes forgets (like every time I reboot) my search with google.co.uk preference and goes back to google.com. I submitted this bug but they haven't fixed it before dubbing this beta final.

  • The beta I had was actually (2.0.94). So the version numbers are different.

  • i guess I had a *later beta*. But I definitely installed it when it was still beta. Moral: check the version before upgrading
