Few days ago, I have noticed that my most visited websites tab disappeared, I thought that might be our Network team, who implemented new policy or it might be the result of new software/settings that made it disappear. Any way it annoyed me a lot. As I use this feature a lot both at work and at home. It gives me an easy option to browse the web sites which I browse regularly, now I have to type the domain every time.
That same day, when I went home, I have observed the same thing, that was very upsetting for me. I have searched on the net and understood that most visited websites tab had expired. http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=115561. So I have started to find the reason behind that mystery.
I have found that Microsoft requested Google to remove “most visited websites tag feature” from the Google toolbar that’s why Google acted to remove that feature. If you are interested to read about Microsoft’s Guidelines and requirements for add-ons that extend Internet Explorer then check this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973764. I think this is very bad move by Microsoft. Different discussions and articles gives only one impression, switch to Firefox or chrome where you can get this feature. If you are brave enough or decided to switch to browsers then go and get from here http://pack.google.com/. I am also very seriously thinking to switch the browser.
Although, I have both Firefox and chrome installed already, it will be the matter of start using one of them.
If you are big fan of IE and at the same time wants to use most visited websites tab, then simply downgrade you IE to previous version and you will get that feature for limited time. Google has plane to remove this feature from all the versions of IE, but it may take some time. Until then you can enjoy.
