I’m conducting a poll about Chrome– please go here to take it, and to get a recap of all of Technologizer’s Chrome coverage.) The slightly less bad news is that it’s possible to construct a rough approximation– I explain how to do so in this post.) You can download Google Toolbar free here.(VITAL UPDATE! If you came here looking for a Google Toolbar for Chrome, the bad news is that there isn’t one. The toolbar provides easy access to all of Google’s services. The tollbar can be customized: change the language, pick the buttons that are pinned to the toolbars.
