Do you shop online?
Yes? But, do you stick to buying from huge sites like Amazon even if there's a better
deal somewhere else? It's hard to tell if it's safe to shop from smaller stores.
No? You're not alone if you're afraid of getting ripped off.
How do you know the merchant is trustworthy? How do you know the store is
secure, and that your personal data is safe?
The Shopping Advisor knows, over 250,000 online stores.

 |
1) Okay, it's not a Gadget. It's a new
Toolbar (for Internet Explorer and Firefox) that eliminates all risk of
buying online. How? |

 |
2) While shopping via Google®,

shows you which stores are providing the safest shopping
experience. |
|

portal, where your purchase is guaranteed up to $25,000 with a buySAFE
Bond - free with the Shopping Advisor. |

Market Summary |

Google Finance
has become quite a nice site to track the stock market. I really like the Market Summary (and
Sector Summary below), and wanted both on my Google Homepage! I created my Google Finance
gadgets about 6 months before Google finally decided to make their own (the exact same 3 that
I made!). But, by that time, I already had tons of users. Why use mine instead? More
features!! So be sure to set your Preferences under "Edit settings"!

- New: Support for Google Finance Canada and United Kingdom.
Choose between US (Dow, NASDAQ, S&P 500), Canada (TSX), or UK (UK FTSE, techMARK)
indices.
- New: Includes the currency and bond rates from Google Finance (optional).
- New: Full control over displayed elements. Show or hide almost
everything!
- Updated: Fully configurable height control. Choose a specific height,
or use auto-height.
