2 Miles: Ain't looking for nothing but a good toolbar

Today I went running for my two miles. There was nothing special observed during the run. It was quick and fast paced as I overslept and didn't want to be late to work. Once I arrived at work, I did notice something new, Google has made an improvement to the toolbar.

I was hard at work developing a new calendar application, for this purposes I usually like to have IE open, as it is the most commonly used, although buggy, browser. I launched a new tab, and at first I thought I had launch Chrome, but notice that I was still in IE. The confusion arose because I noticed that instead of the usual blank default page, there was a page offering my most visited sites. I enjoy this feature of Chrome as I do tend to visit about 10 sites regularly. It is nice to see the new addition, although I could see many not liking it and considering it a violation of their privacy, can't make everyone happy.



The bottom line is that Google is always hard at work, and is nice to see a feature that I enjoy in their browser rolled out to the most used and common browser. Now all I need is Google to reset my personalized theme page back to what it was, I do not enjoy all the clutter they have added over the past 8 months.
