Some people dislike browser toolbars. Others may have two or three—or more-- toolbars on the screen at once. Toolbars can make it easy to access favorite links and bookmarks. But, they can also slow down the loading of websites. And there’s no question that toolbars take up valuable screen space.
Whether or not you enjoy having toolbars on your browser screen, you may be interested to find out more about the Bing Bar. After all, Bing is Google’s biggest competitor as far as search engines go. So, you might want to know if Bing’s toolbar is worthy of installation.
Pros of the Bing Bar
· The Bing Bar is much thinner than many other toolbars. It is only 29 pixels wide, so it takes up less screen space.
· This toolbar is quite a bit less cluttered than most other toolbars. This makes it easy on the eyes. The Bing Bar has just five large, intuitive buttons on each side of the search box.
· Unlike other toolbars, the Bing Bar does not just open bookmarks and load pages from the buttons. Instead, when a button is clicked ‘wings’ drop down to allow you to see the relevant content. This enables you to stay on the same page while taking a quick look at the content on another page.
· You can easily customize the Bing Bar by choosing the buttons for the bar and by deciding where the buttons should be located on the bar.
· The buttons available for this toolbar are quite useful. Options include buttons for Facebook, the weather, email, and many others.
· Bing Rewards is enabled with the installation of this toolbar. This program allows you to earn points that you can trade in for gift cards and other cool items. You earn one credit for every two searches and you can earn more from the prize icon.
Cons of the Bing Bar
· The Bing toolbar cannot be installed on non-Microsoft browsers. This means that if you are a Firefox or Chrome user, you cannot use the toolbar. The Bing Bar can only be used with Internet 7 or later.
· This toolbar does not allow you to share web pages on Facebook, via email, or through any other service.
· The Bing Bar does not allow you to add your own links or bookmarks
· There may be privacy issues with using this toolbar.
