Yahoo Toolbar is a program for Windows designed to simplify navigating to the main page of Yahoo! inorder to read the news, view email messages or perform a quick search. With this software solution installed, all these functions and more will be available from your browser, without having to open the official website.

Overview

One of the main advantages of using such a utility is that it will load the Yahoo! page directly. Thus, you are able to go to Mail, Games or Finances with a single click. The search engine is capable of retrieving specific information by probing the entire Web, or only the Images, Videos, News, Shopping or Sports sections of the portal.

Bookmarks and Facebook integration

The application enables you to save favorite pages to the bookmarks folder, as well as create or edit stock alerts and even portfolios in the Finance section. Since Facebook integration is a must, the toolbar complies fully with this requirement of the present days.

View email messages

It is worth mentioning that Weather information is also present among the capabilities provided by the program. However, the most useful feature is the ability to view the content of the inbox of your email accounts. The great thing about this is that it supports not only Yahoo!
