Google Labs isn't the only thing winding down
in Mountain View, it seems Google's Firefox toolbar is also kaput.
Citing exponential growth in the browser space, the outfit declared that
the Google toolbar for Firefox is no longer necessary -- modern
browsers are just too darn capable. Support will continue for older
versions of the browser, but Firefox 5 will have to stand on its own.
Still, El Goog admits that dropping the toolbar kills more than a few
features, and is offering a list of similarly featured add-ons to users
via the defunct toolbar's help page. Not enough? Head on over to the
announcement's comment page and join the peanut gallery, a few clever
legumes seem to have uncovered a FF5 workaround. As for the rest of us,
it's not like we didn't know Google had its own browser (and interests) to take care of, right?
