Google Toolbar Is a Resource Hog
I installed Google Toolbar in IE8 on Windows Vista.
It took up an entire cpu on a 4 core processor, ballooned IE load time from 1 second to 15 seconds, caused tabs to crash, and just made the entire system sluggish.
And that was after I turned all the toolbar’s options off.
It’s too high of a price to pay for seeing the PR of websites. Thanks, but no thanks Google. It’s now disabled.
This is a cometary from a company that says: The most popular Linux distribution is dying and promotes a WAMP product (a free stack for young developers). This is obviously a Lobby company, apparently don’t sell anything and confuses people (like SCO), their next article will be: Linux produces cancer or Windows-based cure for cancer.
1. This was my own personal experience with Google Toolbar. I know it’s not a typical result.
2. Blog post about Ubuntu dying was made years ago and was in relation to the Dell deal. Current results: Dell makes little to nothing on it, shipbacks/returns are high.
3. Selling and/or promoting Windows-using technologies is not any different than promoting/using Linux based technologies. I use what works for me.
Yep, the fricken Google Toolbar sucks the life out of my computer. But….I find the NEATOSITY factor pretty high when using this option when doing a search.
