With the intention to simplify everyday navigation and enable users to keep themselves updated even if they are on a separate page/site (and hopefully save time for new and old users alike), we would like to present a new and innovative browser-based toolbar for PCs -






This Update of the Toolbar has been rechristened the Asylum Edition, after the famous rom of the same name, as we celebrate 1000 installs (633 Active Users) of our toolbar as of June 3rd, 2012.

May not be too many, but we certainly aren't de-motivated!

  • Presently, the toolbar is relevant only for users navigating regularly to Galaxy Note forums and threads. (You may still download it to satisfy your hurt ego of not having one for your phone model :cool:)

  • The toolbar does not offer any new functionalities. Its purpose is to streamline and make more efficient the everyday user experience.

  • The links gathered and listed under the Essentials and ROMs section may very well be incomplete, or astonishingly missing more important ones. Please bring them to our notice (send a PM) and we will have them up in no time.

  • The toolbar might be least useful to you. Please help us by providing feedback as to what should be removed or added to better suit its purpose.




Last but not the least,

A Few Tips for those confused -

1. The Forums Menu in your toolbar generates Live feeds at intervals of 5 minutes, as and when threads are updated. Be sure that you are logged into your account at xda. By doing so, the toolbar will automatically update itself and display newer/updated threads that you haven't marked read.

2. The toolbar works the same way on IE, Firefox and Chrome (though I would recommend Chrome as it looks classy on it). In case you are on smaller screens, the toolbar may not fit the complete width. You can either see the other menu labels by clicking on the arrow key that appears on the extreme right or you could use the option to Shrink Toolbar.

Hope the toolbar is helpful. Do revert with your feedback to help improve.

Cheers!

Have been using chrome myself. Haven't yet seen the error you report.

Will look into it right away. Thank you for pointing it. :)

I would like to know where the files are installed to so I can uninstall it from my machine. It doesn't register in the add/remove programs, and the location of any uninstaller is not obvious. Any help?

For the record the toolbar is very nice, I installed it to try it out and I like it, however it isn't of much use to me until we can change the device it is for and thus would like to remove it from my machine and not just from Chrome's list of toolbars.

The toolbar is uninstalled just like any other add-on.

For Chrome, just right-click on the toolbar icon (where you have rest of your add-on icons) and select remove.

I admit that it's a good idea, but it needs more work.

It is beatiful but it significantly slows down the loading of the pages.

So I unistalled it, a few minutes after I installed it.
well yes, i do admit it has its shortcomings.

primary reason for this is that I don't have access to the xda user database and hence had to rely on the session cookies for certain features. this is why the toolbar has to refresh itself each time you load a page.

edit: it slows down page loading. but not as significantly as you say
