New Skype Web Toolbars: Firefox sidebar, improved number recognition, easy-hide
By
Jaanus on February 28, 2006 in Skype Beta and new releases.
A new revision of Skype Web Toolbars was just released. [Go get the new version.](http://www.skype.com/download/skypewebtoolbar/)
Lots of new stuff. There's now a Firefox sidebar so you can browse your contacts right in the page. Send Page sends the current page to a contact. The country selection is more fun than the "industry standard" boring 200-field dropdown -- you get a geographical division of the countries instead and can select it from the right part of the world. We like global. Easy-hide lets you hide the toolbar so it won't clutter the space, yet the Convert-Phone-Numbers-To-Skype-Links-A-Tron machine is still active so numbers and Skype Names on web pages are converted to handy buttons.

The bad thing about toolbar from Skype is that is is using some fixed search engines attached to it. I for example, love Google, but I cannot choose it from the list there
