3. That's the whole reason I downloaded it
It's great! Other pop-up blockers are too extensive, like not allowing the "smilies lookup table" when you are posting a message here, to show up.

7. But watch out...
You gotta check the EULA (end-user license agreement). By installing the toolbar, you're also giving Google permission to track your behavior on the web-- what sites you visit, how long you visit them, etc. Oftentimes this info is used for "marketing" or other nefarious purposes.

Just so you know what you're getting into.... :)

9. Actually,
I just installed it. It gives you an opt-out option, where no information will be sent to anyone.
