This could be huge!

This morning over at Pirillo’s blog I saw that beta version 2.0 of the Google Toolbar is out. I’ve been a big fan of the toolbar since I first ran across it, and this version adds a popup blocker, an autofill and a “BlogThis” feature!

Sounds very cool, and the popup blocker eliminates one of the reasons I have been using Mozilla more than IE. Now they just need tabbed browsing and we’ll be good to go, or Google needs to release a toolbar that works with Mozilla and then I can drop IE, since the toolbar is one of the big reasons I still use IE at all.

Update: Josh comments that there is a GoogleBar for Mozilla. I’ll have to check that out!

    Looks like Kunal has come up with a solution for Robert’s aggregator blog that should keep everyone happy: “His new version will post titles, and some text from the body, and post that.
