Browser toolbars prompted web browsers to include online searches as a built-in function in the 2000s. Internet Explorer 7 (2006) was one of the first browsers to include a separate search area next to the address bar, allowing for rapid web searches—though many users were disappointed that the default search engine was Microsoft Live Search. That is why the Google Toolbar will continue to thrive and become increasingly reliant on Google services.

Locate a computer with Internet Explorer, preferably version 8 or newer. It could be your first build, complete with a Pentium 4 processor and a Radeon All-In-Wonder graphics card, which your family is threatening to throw out. The crucial thing is that it's a machine that no one uses, cares about, or wouldn't mind having toolbars added to Internet Explorer. That should work because I discovered a PC running Windows XP x64 Edition!
