It's mostly just waste of space, but I've heard rumours that it does funtion as some form a spy-ware as well.

Google Toolbar is good and the 2.0 beta does popup blocking.

Google toolbar is GREAT! It rolls all the Google search functions into a little toolbar, and more!

It has great functions, such as:
Translate website
Search page/entire web/google images/nearly anything!
Pop-up blocker-thing
NO SPYWARE!
many other cool things I can't remember currently (I'd have the thing on this comp, but it's not mine, and the owner doesn't like me to download things that he can see. Well, actually, I'm not supposed to download anything, I think, I just hide it :D)

I have the toolbar in each browser window. It kicks ass.
