AOL searchAugust 5, 2004 at 5:13 pm #40638kyuubiMemberI’m with google……even though I have Yahoo as my homepage…I still use google most of the time.:D
August 5, 2004 at 5:20 pm #40626Hurricane22491MemberI use google since the main web browsers that I use have a google search bar right on the side.
August 5, 2004 at 5:25 pm #40622MartinBradleyMemberGoogle, I also have Yahoo set as my homepage. Yet Google is much easier to use I think.
August 5, 2004 at 5:47 pm #40627matthewMemberGoogle is the best search engine on the net. Yahoo runs from google.

August 5, 2004 at 7:30 pm #40620DJHyperbyteMemberI wonder why this poll is here… I mean, we all know Google outrules all the other search engines, right? đ
August 5, 2004 at 8:38 pm #40637SushiMan92MemberHeh, this is a funny topic. Funny in the sense that everyone is probaby going to pick google since google is going big now with even better based searches, a parental-control like search option. Also when gmail comes out I cna’t even imagine the bandwith that the sites going to have.
August 6, 2004 at 5:33 am #40630lethalmanMemberQuote:quote:Google today proposed guidelines for Internet download software such as advertising ware, browser helpers, or search toolbars. Google states that they have become âalarmed by what we believe is a growing disregard for your rights as computer users.â Recently there has been an Internet boom in spyware and adware, which are software usually distributed using questionable techniques. Some users will download a screensaver or file swapping software, without being fully notified that such software is being shown on their computers.Additionally, adware can take revenue from search engines such as Google which serve sponsored ad links. If a user who has certain adware software installed on their computer searches for a keyword, in some instances adware like Gator or WhenU will serve a popup graphic or different search results page with other sponsored links.
Googleâs proposed guidelines are available on Google and also printed below. We think this is a good step for a web powerhouse like Google to propose these guidelines, even if lawmakers and software programmers ignore them, it states Googleâs case (especially if they are planning on partnering with adware companies or releasing more downloadable search tools).
INSTALLATION
We believe software should not trick you into installing it. It should be clear to you when you are installing or enabling software on your computer and you should have the ability to say no. An application shouldnât install itself onto your computer secretly or by hiding within another program youâre installing or updating. You should be conspicuously notified of the functions of all the applications in a bundle.
