Looks like Google has finally pulled the plug on this. I wonder if this video had anything to do with it 😂
Wow!
I was literally just on the website wondering whether you brought awareness to google or not 😂
You did your job, Google Toolbar. Now, rest in peace.
I guess after they saw this video, they remembered they had this and pulled the plug 😂
Yes! Finally, Google Toolbar has been discontinued by Google!
Google Toolbar had been long dead for several years and it needed to be killed off for some time.
Very surprising how this Google product lasted for over 21 YEARS!
Google’s gonna see this and just say “Oh, thanks for the reminder” and obliterate the whole thing like it never existed
lol
No, this probably still exists for backwards compatibility reasons
@@BlackBearFTW_ yeah true
This still exists because there’s some Milton at Google who all the execs forgot about who’s probably gonna burn the building down now.
Also, the Wikipedia page changed in the video. Look at the version in the current Wikipedia and this video's Wikipedia version.
The background music is the same music as the test sample that DankPods uses, nice
I heard it and I was instantly like alright mate break out the hur dur six hungos
Yeah
Da dadadada dada *song*
Nice
i noticed too
I remember times when toolbars were in 90% of free software installers, but some people didn't know about option to uncheck the toolbar instalation offer and i remember when my uncle gave me his own laptop to clean browser and it has 10 toolbars + adware plugin.
ASK jeeves toolbar was the real deal back then, I've seen more PC with that thing installed than without
Reminds me of a scene from IT Crowd.
I remember a friend calling me over because his browser was so slow. When I opened the browser, half of the page estate had been taken over by toolbars!!
Yep, what I called "toolbar burgers", when there are too many toolbars in Internet Explorer or Firefox
That was the scene till a few years ago, and even "Driver Installers" in CDs came with those.
HP installed Bing toolbar (I can still provide you the setup), some crappy USB Modem came with Google Toolbar, among others. Remember Coupon Printer, Cyberlink PowerDVD and other shits that used to come in the CDs?
It’s me Trent Dalton. I guess my video suggestion did actually end up becoming a reality after all. Awesome! 😀❤️
Bro that’s pretty cool:)
Nice😁
Yeah, i once saw a co9mputer having so many toolbars it could only display 1 line of a webpage.
Still can't forgive Google for killing Play Music, YT Music needs to check you're online everytime while Play Music just straight up plays your songs
Edit: guys, YT Vanced is the OG
Google Music was awesome because you could download your library too.
Also Talk is better than any of its successors.
YT Music plays saved songs offline just fine though
@@busterbunny005 When my phone is offline, there's always a delay in YT music before it plays (or repeats) the next song. It doesn't happen when it's online
It's still usable as a music player for me. You can't use the old app at all or only for your bought music?
@@SilentProti i dont buy any music, I use my previous library from play music
I remember using the Google Toolbar during the final Internet Explorer 6 days. I always thought it was discontinued until now. Excellent video of it!
Michael's videos are always very detailed.
@@MrFreddy123 Yep, that's what I enjoy about them. All computer users should watch them!
It probably is soft discontinued and google never officially announced it.
@@adwaitagnome I never knew that term existed, although it's still very interesting to see a classic web browser add-on available in the early 2020s.
@@CEO100able to be fair it was one that I made up (although I wouldn't be surprised if it has been used before) but it still kinda stands. It's been discontinued without being officially discontinued
why do i love these reviews of old shit that there is a zero percent chance of me ever even coming in contact with
because yes
H
Because nostalgia and edumacation.
didn’t know ganer got verified lol
@@nezzled same
Here's the funny thing. Back in the day, back when this still worked properly, back in the Windows XP days, I was a heavy user of the Google toolbar, even installed some custom buttons, and those custom buttons are still added to the toolbar when I login with my Google account.
Also, for some reason Orkut was a big thing in Brazil. Even after the service was shut down it was kept up in Brazil for a few more years. Must be why it was still available in the toolbar even in 2015.
(By the way, remember that one episode of Gumball where the Wattersons had no internet because the browser on Mr. Robinson's was full of toolbars? That joke was dated even when the episode came out.)
brony in 2021?? ewwww
@@ps5hasnogames55 Seriously? We're still doing this in 2021? I thought we were past this.
didn't know that it was kept up in Brazil, interesting.
As far as I know, Orkut was also popular in India.
@@kbhasi Yeah, I think you're right. I think Orkut was still kept up there too after it was shut down.
...wait, really? Google, the company that kills off products more often than most people change their clothes, still have a toolbar alive despite nobody using toolbars anymore?
old people probably still do
Wtf is your profile picture?
@@user-qh8vm1me5w wtf is ur name
@@Ketten Wtf is my life
Imagine not being straight smh
That error code you were getting on XP, 0x800700BF, is ERROR_INVALID_EXE_SIGNATURE, which usually means you're trying to run 64-bit software on a 32-bit OS.
I remember when i was like 7 or 8 years old, i used to install WAY too much toolbars that i didn't know how to get rid of. I thought i had a virus!
Ah, good old 2012...
And I imagine those toolbars cluttered up the screen so much that you couldn't even see the webpages.
It's amazing, that Stadia got sort of killed in about a year, but Toolbar still exists. For like 10 years it still eats server space, if it is tiny.

"michael mjd face"
"michael mjd face reveal"
"michael mjd age"
😂😂😂
Wait, people actually search that?
I want to see how he looks like
@@moelester7527 he does
Judging from the Google logo used on that webpage's image at 2:50 the site was probably last updated sometime between 2010 and 2013. It however mentioned Google+ multiple times so that lowers the range to 2011-2013.
Probably late 2011, since it's got the Windows 7 windows.
It said last updated 2012
I think the Google Toolbar needs two sidekicks, The Bing and The Yahoo Toolbars! i hope you do both of them
Wasn’t there a whole fiasco regarding the Bing toolbar? There’s also the Yahoo toolbar, but no DuckDuckGo toolbar.
i had the old bing toolbar but i lost my computer that had it
And also the Ask toolbar. Even though it's just a virus.
Did you mean Yhaoo toolbar?
@@TeionM83 don't mention that piece of digital junk. I remember it was a pain in the ass to get rid of
Oh my... that’s why my mom used the toolbar since it was easy to find along with other shortcuts.
One of the things Google was offering that I miss is Picasa. It's not too good for today's standards but it was a great picture viewer back in the day, I remember editing pictures with it to have "Polaroid" frame and use them for character bios on my stories or make custom wallpapers.
Right? I was surprised when it was stopped, like it was quite good. Imagine where it could be if Google kept with it.
11:50 you can actually disable that, it's in the Edge settings, I forgot what category but it took me a little digging to find.
It's in the Default Browser section, under Internet Explorer Compatibility.
"Orkut, anyone remembers Orkut?"
Me as a brazilian:
Oh shit, the memories
Not an Orkut user (not old enough) but a Brazilian too :)
Aw mam I still remember Orkut.
Of course yes, I remember even BBS days!
That was before Google+ right?
@Jão the fox English please.
I love Yhaoo. They're my favorite... whatever they do
I'm amazed that "someone" at google actually made a new icon (in the 2015 design style)
There is one guy in a small office in the basement that works on products like these lol.
@@matttysonx but why didn't he add the new logo to the translator feature of the toolbar?
I remember having a Hotmail or MSN toolbar way back in the mid 2000s. Seemingly every program you tried to install back then offered a browser toolbar of some sort.
yup... I used Yahoo Toolbar many years before switched to google toolbar lol
As one of the three last users of Google+ I thought it was pretty nice. No listicles, no annoying relatives, my feed was mostly pretty photos and programming jokes.
@@lol-ih1tl Google+ and Digg aren't the same thing......
It had a very small but dedicated user base, there were some online petitions to keep it going once they announced the shutdown. It's still kind of available if you have a Google Workspace controlled account.
The reason it likely has an update is because software is often set up with automatic update/deployment systems. Some time in 2018, someone either ran all the update systems at once, or an update triggered updates of all the things that required it, including the toolbar.
Probably recompiling with spectre/meltdown mitigations, they were 2018.
Google Inc. became Google LLC in 2017, likely why the copyright was dated 2018 - to change it to Google LLC (the correct company name). The signature is almost certainly just an auto-updater. Edit: The new Google logo came most likely from a URL.
Makes me think back of a something that happen when i was in tech support, a collegue send me a screenshot. A client complained they couldnt use the internet anymore as the window was too small. She had like 20+ toolbars installed. May be an interesting video too, see how many toolbars still work
Wow, that's a blast from the past.
Micheal MJD: Google Toolbar copyrights.
Me: And they say Windows 10 is bad with its constituencies.
11:36 lmao Michael MJD face reveal
the Google suggestion of “michael mjd face reveal” 😂 the people are desperate
I think they just have this still running with an auto-sign job in their CI tool.
Most likely.

Wait, Jim Browning?! The number one scam-fighting youtuber!?!? I watched him sometimes!!!!
It’s cool that Google still hosts their own toolbar for download
But it's uncool that some of the features it has don't work anymore.
Not anymore
Google killed reader, yet this still exists.
WHY?!
Also, I used and liked google+ starting with the closed beta up til the day it closed.
I miss G+ :(

I used to use Google Toolbar with IE6 back in the day until around 2007 I switched to Firefox and combined it with the Google toolbar again. Was a great combo!
when internet explorer forces you to open edge, that's actually an extension within ie stored in the edge program, you can't disable it but if you delete the folder it removes the restriction
Wait, new logo is from 2015? Damn that's insane how time flies
You can see an old logo Google used until 2015 on the screenshot on toolbar page, so my guess is that it was abandoned in 2013/14-ish, since they list win 7+
I’d like to see a bit of a retrospective on the bing bar. I wonder how many people used it
I remember another one everyone had was the Ask Toolbar. You couldn't escape these
I used to use ask back when I was like 5.
I hated those things with a passion. Everytime someone would call me and ask me to fix their slow browsing experience i would always find like 5 or more toolbars installed and when i got rid of them along with resetting the browser settings they were good to go again (most of the time)
I wonder if the installer is autoupdated in all there software since the more reacent signititure/copyright.
I actually still have it installed on my IE, and I don't even use IE anymore. It's pretty nostalgic, at it still has the old Google icons! I miss toolbars for some reason.
Im so happy i discovered your channel. I am wanna get more info of older pc tech and software.
Also.
I watched a couple of other videos of yours and you said timebomb and bootdisk. i wonder what does those words mean
You can disable the automatic redirect to edge in the settings by selecting 'never' for open incompatible sites in edge in the edge settings.
I like it when things are forgotten and left up. Kind of like a time capsule
The Google Toolbar
Ah, the nostalgia of those times.
Heavens Gate Cult was around.
Tools. Tools. Tools everywhere.
The download page would have worked in a newer version of IE. I believe it's because IE 6 supports HTTPS, but the security version (TLS/SSL?) is one that is no longer widely supported.
Also the download button would work in Chrome or Firefox if you change your useragent ;)
Great video Michael MJD keep it up
Hi Michael! I have a question: how did you manage that VMware runs so smoothly? (I mean when you move the windows in Windows VMs) because I have the problem that VMware lagged very heavily when I move windows in my Windows VMs (especially with Windows Vista, 7, XP and 8). is there a patch or other solution for this?
Upgrade your computer ok?
Increase the vram in VMware
Google toolbar, that takes me back lol
Gz on 150k subs
notice the old mjd channel name in the youtube url
also you can disable the edge open thing by going into edge settings and searching internet explorer and changing let ie open sites in edge to never
also on certain websites, translate still works
and to be honest, I wish that browsers will be updated to support these toolbars, or a third party updates ie to use the chrome or firefox engine or something (chrome frame does not help much as it is as old if not older than the toolbar)
The digital signature might just be updated automatically without any employees working on it
Hey Michael, you next vid should be on myspace in 2021
man i remember using this thing back when i was still using ie in 2004 or something.
only reason for that was the popup blocker, because back then basically every webpage had huge amount of popups.
and they were also so full of ads, that my poor old amd duron 1,2ghz pc with 512mb ram on windows xp barely could keep up.
then i moved to use opera for few years and around the same time as Mozilla changed Firebird to Firefox, i started to use it as my main browser and got used to web with adblockers.
Edge now has its own extension store.
Also, you couldn't access the download page because IE tries to connect using SSL 2.0 which doesn't work anymore.
You can also turn off redirection of webpages to edge.
Usually with auto-fill, you have to actually click submit or “enter” and the it will ask you if you want it to save your information. I might have missed it if you tried to actually hit submit for it to work but idk, was just thinking that could have been why. Awesome video, always great content! You have became one of my favorites!
Man I wish I had found your channel about 2 months ago. I recently purchased an old HP desktop computer that had Windows XP installed on it. I tried everything in the world to access the internet on it but because the old web browsers would not support sse2 instruction set I was at a standstill. I was literally using a thumb drive to download installation packages on another computer and then copying them to this computer to try to get it working. I tried some other suggestions for browsers that would work with XP such as pale Moon and others but I always ran into the same problem: either Microsoft or my ISP or the internet itself knew that those browsers were outdated and severely limited and they just either would not process the instructions at all or they would tell me that I needed to update to a newer browser. Of course when I tried to actually go and download the new version of Microsoft edge or Google Chrome every installation failed due to the hardware restrictions on this machine. I decided that I would just go ahead and order a new motherboard and CPU combo that would allow me to install newer programs... And I did manage to create a Windows 7 installation disc and I was able to use and install Windows 7 on the machine but I still run into the same problems with the hardware being sold that it doesn't support executables in the new code and instruction sets that they have. But now that you've mentioned the browser called My pal I'm going to have to look into that. As far as I'm concerned Windows XP was the Pinnacle of all operating systems that Microsoft ever put out. I went into mourning the day that they discontinued support for it. It's a shame. I think that they should basically just take whatever their next OS is going to be and call it Windows XP 21 or something like that just so that we can go back to the XP themes the XP feel and bring back some nostalgia for old guys like us. LOL
How is it not working even with a new motherboard?
Hey Michael MJD!! Keep up the good videos!
no you aren’t
edit: the comment originally just said “I’m” and im clarifying so i dont look like an idiot
I just installed it on my Windows 10 machine and it works! And yes it does in fact close all your browsers! As it closed Chrome on which I was watching your video.

Google: We should remove Google Instant because it doesn't work on phones.
Also Google: **Doesn't remove a toolbar exclusive for a browser that Microsoft doesn't even acknowledge its existence**
I was going through an old computer yesterday and found this installed, i don"t know why, but it made me really nostalgic.
I probably use IE for around 30% of my web browsing. The reason for that is my job. Lots of our in house websites won't load using other web-browsers. SO I'd hope that the rest of the .75% of IE users are like me.
Also my occasional retro computer web-search.
It looks like a lot of features, like the autofill got brought into Chrome after they started working on that instead of the toolbar.
i'm guessing the team behind the toolbar got moved to working on the chrome browser too.
That's a name I haven't heard in a very long time.
new viewer here, loving your style man keep it up
Thanks Jake! I appreciate it!
Love your videos!
Next video: Installing tonnes of toolbars in IE.
I like how modern Web browsers are designed to prevent toolbars from existing at all by only taking 2 rows of vertical space (tabs + address bar).
i also have bookmarks 3rd row
Hello michael. Great video as always. Hwat do you think about the windows vienna which was later named as windows 7. I tried searching every beta build and milestones but no luck. Is there even such a thing as windows vienna? I know your video about the xp edition vienna but if you can make a video about it it would be really cool.
That was a good trip of nostalgia. I used to use some of those features XD
Dude, you just outed some dude’s scheme that he’s been riding since 2014. That guy has to find a new team and actually start doing work now.
i am from 2022, it is gone now.
There is a universal bar called "webdiscover bar", you might want to try it, it's pretty close to the old Google toolbar
Please continue this series!
Try to do it on Windows Vista and 7
This is the best kind of useless information I have ever known about.
Your videos are amazing! :-)
Google Toolbar was also distributed as a Mozilla plug-in for Firefox from September 2005 to June 2011. On December 12, 2021, the software was no longer available for download, and the website now redirects to a support page.
Thanks for the request, Michael!

Perfection
Have u tried using the Toolbar on the after updating the OSes (XP SP3 with IE8 & Windows 7 SP1 Platform Upgrade with IE11) to the latest patch available?
This reminds me of some websites that help you build a custom toolbar with your own logo and features.
ah, nostalgia, remember the old days of browser extensions
They still exist
Perhaps you mean toolbars
"You're using Chrome, that's great. All of the features of Google Toolbar are already built into your browser."
That's an outright lie (to say nothing of the comma splice). I _still_ miss the ability to enclose multiple terms in quotation marks and use the automatically created buttons to scroll through (or highlight) every instance on a webpage, including one from the search results. Ctrl+F pales in comparison.
When the Firefox extension was discontinued, I manually edited the compatible version numbers to force its installation until it literally stopped working. Then I downgraded to the previous version of Firefox and refused to upgrade until _that_ began to break with age.
Why Google didn't actually include "all of the features of Google Toolbar" in Chrome is beyond me.
Can you do it in a legacy version of Microsoft edge.Good content mate!

Funny how difficult it is to make the Toolbar work today, when I remember how much time we spent to remove these things back in the days.
