AltaVista Toolbar: Compare

The good:

  • Easy installation
  • Full set of specific Web searches
  • Decent pop-up blocker
  • Translates Web pages and phrases

The bad:

  • Can't resize the search box
  • Weather, conversion, and currency searches all require a tack-on-the-word approach
  • Pop-up blocker won't block pop-ups from a specific domain only
  • No form autofill

The bottomline:

AltaVista's toolbar gets the job done, but it does little to stand out from the crowd and is marred by some clunky features. We recommend a more feature-rich toolbar, such as Yahoo's.
