The Best of BROWSER ADD-ONS on the Internet
Google Toolbar
Add handy new features to your browser. The Google toolbar lets you do a Google
search without actually going to the Google site. It also eliminates annoying
pop-up ads, and can automatically fill in forms with one click. Free and highly recommended!

Roboform
RoboForm is a free password manager and one-click web form filler with some serious

Especially valuable if you shop online. One of my favorite tools.
