RSSYahoo Extends Toolbar for Firefox
By Nate Mook | Published April 6, 2005, 10:39 AM
Yahoo has fulfilled promises to bring its full range of toolbar features to Firefox, releasing an updated beta with spyware protection. Yahoo Toolbar provides bookmarking and search capabilities, along with translation, mail notification and built-in safeguards against malware.
The new Firefox version also works on Mac and Linux, making Yahoo the first major search provider to support a full range of platforms. According to the company, Yahoo Toolbar was the top Web browser add-on for conducting search queries, overtaking toolbars from competitors Google and Ask Jeeves. Yahoo Toolbar for IE was also updated Wednesday.
This is absolutely terrific! Support not only for Firefox but for Linux too!
As Open Source Technology in the form of Apps and OSes takes a stronger and tighter hold of user Desktops, it will be companies like Yahoo that have already positioned themselves into this Market and will continue to remain profitable. Prepare now and leverage that expertise later. Smart, very smart.
