The Pirate Bay launches browser toolbar, video compression utility
The browser toolbar has a rather comprehensive list of online video sites that you can access from a drop down menu. But the rest of the features in the toolbar are kind of useless. There's a menu for "YouTube Rippers." But one link under that menu takes you to the page for VideoDownloader, while the other two links take you to pages where you can download browser plugins for ripping YouTube videos. Silly me, when I saw the Rip button I thought I'd alreaday done that. It seems silly to waste space in a toolbar with links to pages that you might only need to visit once.
There's also a search button, which explains the real reason The Pirate Bay released this toolbar. The search engine is powered by a custom Google search engine that comes loaded with a fair number of ads and results that don't appear to be much more videocentric than a generic Google search. If you want to support The Pirate Bay by using a search engine that will kick a few cents their way when you click on the ads, then install the toolbar. But otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much reason to do so (aside from the nice big list of streaming video web sites).
