Since they're not gonna do that, I suggest Googlebar lite for
Firefox; it doesn't install extra processes like the full Google

I install Googlebar lite as a matter of course. It gives me the 'find
search term on page' function that Google toolbar has, without the
Google toolbar updater.

You don't have to run the sniffer for very long to find that out :-)

I'm with G'Bo, none of that cr*p on my boxes either.
