• spyware- so what

  studman2/2/2005

  Pros

  great to see what you are looking at and stops you from wasting time looking at useless sites.

  Cons

  Spyware-so what- You have to put up with some spyware (as in all P2P's); but although I try to keep spyware to a minimum, sometimes you have to take the good with the bad - can you say "tradeoff"?

  Cons

  Summary

  This handy search toolbar is the best way to search the web and keep bookmarks. Since the bookmarks are visual, it's easy to locate them in a very fast way.

  This software is great, I have been using it for a while now and it helps me to find what i am looking for in a fast way. I would suggest that if you are not using it, download it and give it a try.

  Summary

  A Great piece of software. normally you would have to install many different toolbars for all the engines, but this one is all in one. Also with the down button you can skip from one engine to another. I use Internet Explorer a lot and this is a handy toolbar to have around. Makes searching the web more easier and more convienent. Now I can see my search results from all engines and no more unbiased results to go in! Great

• This is a MUST HAVE!!!

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  I have been using Girafa for more than a year now, and it is one of the best browser add-ons available. Being able to see a thumbnail sized image of any page on the web whenever I come across a URL (in search results pages, directories, my list of bookmarks etc.) makes searching and browsing so much simpler and a lot more fun. I find it so much easier to find information and sites that I like, and I stopped wasting time trying to enter sites that do not exist, sites that I have visited before or sites that I just don't like. Great idea and great product! I highly recommend it!
