Google today released the 5th major version of Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer with several new and improved features.

• Add gadgets to your Toolbar
• Improved AutoFill - can store multiple profiles
• Integrated with Google Notebook
• Suggestions for navigation errors
• and more…

For now, I just want to be able to access my synced bookmarks without installing neither Google Toolbar nor Google Browser Sync. Oh, I just checked, less than a third of this site’s visitors are using Internet Explorer.

Google today announced that they have renamed “Search History” to “Web History” and added a new feature to it which “makes it easy to view and search across the pages you’ve visited”, that is, they will know what website you have visited and will know the content of the pages. The feature is automatically enabled if you have Google Toolbar installed, using the PageRank indicator.

That’s sad… I have to stop using Web History to protect my privacy until Google makes a separate setting for this feature. :(
