I have only two extra toolbars installed in my browser, I actually don't like any extra toolbar in there

1. Google toolbar

2. Stumbleupon toolbar

I have minimized them so that they don't take much space on the page.

I have none, i always see toolbars as like, "spyware" for some reason. Theres no need to have it in my opinion. Everytime i install a program and it asks if id like a toolbar, i always reject it. i dunno why people bother having toolbars, it just makes your explorer look more crowdy and stuff.

Zero. I find them unattractive and see toolbars on the same level as spyware and adware. Very annoying, specially when you forget to un-select the "ADD THIS TOOLBAR LOL" option on installers then start up Firefox just to see "DAEMON TOOLS SEARCH BAR!!!".

I don't have any on IE, but I have this annoying ICQ Search toolbar on Firefox that I don't really know how to get rid of... They are all pretty useless, they bog down the cosmetics of a browser and just make things seem less sleek and comfortable. Google Toolbar is really annoying.

All I need is a clean install of Firefox with a few pro addons. Toolbars are not good for your PC, they just contibute to less page and more lag. Besides some toolbars are adware and track cookies and report back to their mothersite with data about you.

i do not care to install toolbars which do this and thats. In certain browsers like Microsoft's internet explorer, these extra toolbars are really a overhead since they will eat the memory and the space much more. And most of them are not that much useful.

At one moment I used to have many toolbars installed by my mistake and so I had to delete them. now I have the google toolbars, the yahoo toolbars, the winamp toolbars and the toolbars from a radio station that I listen on line. maybe I will delete some of them again Suspect
