Don't get me wrong: my wife loves the Google bar, but that's just because she doesn't like tabbed browsing either. As someone that likes having multiple pages/sites/topics open in a browser at once, I can't live without it. I can see, though, from observing her and her habits why some people wouldn't like it.
Even so, the only advantage I see over Firebird in IE is the speed of opening. Nearly every plugin (including this) can be used in Firebird as well, and it actually renders the page more accurately most of the time (especially when sending the page to the printer: IE is a piece of crap in this area).
I guess it's just personal preference when it all comes down to it, though. IE is more tightly integrated and that gives some advantages, but I'd give up those few things to support the people that are trying to make things better for computer users rather than those that are looking to enslave us.
