Useful software ’’‚’‚…‚’‚‚‚¦‚“ non photo related -

I’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚m not usually a big fan of add-on software but I recently downloaded the Alexa Toolbar
And I have been pleasantly surprised as it offer’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚s the following and does it all very well

• Blocks pop-up ads
• Easy access to independent stats for almost every web site
• Has a built-in search box
• Shows what’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚s related - this is one of my favorites it automatically show you sites with similar content to the page you are currently on note: bytephoto has not been online long enough to have alexa who’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚s related stats yet hopefully soon
• Easy reference to just how popular a web site really is

Alexa doesn't work under Netscape unfortunately. http://www.bytephoto.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif

This looks like a really great program, but is it one of those that my security program blocks because it tracks your actions from another location? I have tried to get rid of all of those as they say people can steal credit card info and such by coming in from the ad-ware location?
Do you know about that issue with this program? I try not to get rediculous about it and at the same time stay safe.
I hope it is ok, love the program.

I sure hope that it is safe Alexa is owned by Amazon.com and they have a great reputation.
