Take one last look at Google Toolbar, which is now dead | Ars Technica
'Google Toolbar' is a web browser extension tool that was born on December 13, 2000. As of 2021, Google Chrome is in the top position with a big difference to the second place and below, but in 2000, when it comes to web browsers, the share of Internet Explorer, which is installed as standard in Windows, is overwhelming. At the target, other browsers were fighting for how to steal share from IE.
The 'Google Toolbar' was just that. Once installed, it appeared at the top of the Internet Explorer screen and at the bottom of the address bar, displaying fields for Google search and buttons to access various tools. The reason why adding a search field was useful is that the address bar up to Internet Explorer 5 is for entering and displaying the address of the website as its name suggests, and it does not have a search function like modern web browsers. It's because of it.

However, at the end, it seems that nothing worked except search and login.
Microsoft's support for Internet Explorer is scheduled to end on June 15, 2022.
