I'm seeing more and more serious apps that are relying on browser extensions for a main part of their functionality.

Shouldn't Yahoo focus on the products they are neglecting (i.e., Flickr) rather than introduce more products to then neglect?

Flickr has had 5 or 6 major updates this year, including a rebuilt uploader, redesigned photo page, a new justified view, social album browsing, integration of a new photo editor, and more. So, there is a lot of work being done at Flickr. See announcements @ http://code.flickr.com/blog/

I don't know what kind of damage you can cause with this information, but I do think that posting this publicly was pretty unethical.

I've never uninstalled a browser plugin so quickly. It really is just what you think it is: a 2001-era search toolbar, except without the useful list of search results. Just thumbnails that tell you nothing about the result.

I see a search toolbar plus the Chrome-to-phone functionality (the iOs version of it). Moving along...
