My favorite internet tool, the Google Toolbar has released their 2.0 beta.

For those unfamilar with it, the Google Toolbar embeds (for users of IE 5+)a Google search box into your browser. Version 2.0 adds a wonderful pop-up blocker. Here’s the full listing of features:

  • Google Search: Access Google’s search technology from any web page.
  • Search Site: Search only the pages of the site you’re visiting.
  • PageRank: See Google’s ranking of the current page.
  • Page Info: Access more information about a page including similar pages, pages that link back to that page, as well as a cached snapshot.
  • Highlight: Highlight your search terms as they appear on the page; each word in its own color.
  • Word Find: Find your search terms wherever they appear on the page.
  • Popup Blocker: Make surfing the web easier by stopping annoying popups.
  • AutoFill: Automatically fill in a form with the click of a button.
  • BlogThis: Create a weblog post pointing to the page you are visiting.

Podcast also available on PocketCasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and RSS.
