Microsoft autoupdate on my toolbar12/29/2023 The AutoLink feature adds links to the page you're viewing if it recognizes certain types of information on the page. I don't like it, but Google is doing legally nothing wrong in my Book (excuse the pun)Īm I missing something? My toolbar isn't updated (3.0.19?). I stopped using Google Toolbar a long time ago! only as a developer am I interested to the overall effect it has upon our sites. I doubt this will affect many, but if Google decided to append links to text without the need to click the button then that would be out of order. They still have to click the button to make the link then scroll back down to click it. This is still a lot of work for a user, to actually remember the Google feature is there and use it all the time. They also publish the book number in plain text so if a user clicks the Autolink feature then its quite easy for the user to be sent to Amazon to buy the book bypassing the original reviewing web site. They link to some book selling site like many of us do but not Amazon. I've just visited a book web site that reviews all sorts of books and publishers etc. I for one won't have the Google toolbar as I'm tired of them pushing the boundries too far. If users want Google to modify the web sites they view then users have to agree to it.Īs far as I can see they still have to click the button for the links to appear so its not just attaching links to any text. Well one thing we all have to remember is that its an option to install or un-install.
