I am so tempted to install the Bing toolbar..it looks cool...but will it cause more problems than it solves?

It's Bing...why would it do anything productive?

I had it installed once.
i then uninstalled it.
I hated that every other word on every single website was a link that presented a pop up with ADVERTISEMENTS.

It's an accurate observation.

I recommend https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ for forefox,
Adblock for Internet Explorer version IE7, IE8 and IE9 – Simple Adblock for Internet Explorer and https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom for Google Chrome to get rid of those pesky and bandwidth / CPU hogging advertisements.

I merely uninstalled Bing and they were gone.
Of course, i am talking about the advertising popups that came with the installation of Bing.

You mean Bing toolbar right? Bing is just a search engine. Much like google, it cannot be installed on your system. Also, I never install any toolbar of any sort. They are buggy, hog precious PC resources and slow down a computer enormously.

I mean bing, back when you actually installed it.
And no, this was before the toolbar.

I use Google Chrome because I'm kind of a minimalist. I would worry about security issues since Google products have been shown to have significant flaws in recent times, but it's sitting on top of OSX, so I don't really worry about it.
Bing will increase your problems, if anything. I realize, however, that Windows users require problems to make sense of their workspace, so by all means, go for it.

It's bloatware. It may save you a little bit of time but you'll pay for that in terms of browser performance. Not worth it, IMO.

Do you 'know' or believe?
I prefer bing compared to google only if you have gmail (where I hate the privacy issues)
