| | Search mail, go to Gmail. | One-click access to Yahoo Mail, compose mails, check mails. Includes some promotional options for Yahoo Mail Plus. |
| Other services | Google doesn't promote too many services, it doesn't let you see your groups in a list, or your Google Talk contacts. | Yahoo adopts a simple strategy: take every service we got and create a button for it plus a list of important links for it. For example, News button includes the latest news. |
| Overall | Google Toolbar adoped account-integration from Yahoo, but it didn't extended too much. Google Toolbar remains a search toolbar, although the new features show that Yahoo Toolbar exhaustive aproach may become Google's approach soon. | Yahoo Toolbar default layout is too cluttered. You can make it simple and elegant if you choose Search Toolbar profile (developers wanted to create a Google-mode for their toolbar). |
