Contribute to any webpage with Sidewiki

Google Sidewiki is a browser sidebar that lets you contribute and read helpful information alongside any webpage. Share your insights with the entire Sidewiki community and post updates via Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, or email.

View your Google Bookmarks from any computer

Rather than remember the addresses to all your favorite websites, save time by creating a Google bookmark. Google bookmarks are saved to your Google Account and can be accessed from any computer through Toolbar's Bookmarks menu, the Google Bookmarks homepage, or your iGoogle homepage.

Check your spelling

Click the Spell check button to check your spelling on emails and contact forms, and misspelled words turn red. Click misspelled words to choose from a list of suggested spellings, and corrected words turn green. When you're done, click the Spell check button.

Translate websites into more than 40 languages

View instant translations for individual words by pausing your cursor on an English word, or automagically translate entire websites on-the-fly into more than 40 languages.

Complete forms with AutoFill

Save time by not typing your name, phone number, email, home and billing addresses each time you complete contact forms. Instead, create an AutoFill profile to fill contact forms with a single click, and create multiple profiles for your work or home information.

Learn more about AutoFill.

Customize your Toolbar

Customize your Toolbar by clicking the wrench icon to open the 'Toolbar Options' window. Remove button text labels, enable or disable Toolbar features, and more. When you're done adjusting your settings, click Save.
