Add-on Guidelines in action – AVG Security Toolbar.

JMH · Oct 7, 2009

The AVG Security Toolbar team has recently released a new version of their toolbar. It has a more predictable user experience and does a better job of allowing users to stay in control of their browser. It’s a great example of the Guidelines for add-on developers in action.

It’s encouraging to see the example set by the AVG Security Toolbar team. They’re building valuable add-ons for people and at the same time they’re respecting user choice. Here are some high level examples of the changes they’ve made in the new version of their toolbar:

It no longer takes over the search provider. Instead it uses the proper IE8 set default provider API so that users can choose their default.

The close button is visible so that users can manage it like other toolbars. Additionally, the toolbar is positioned in a supported location which improves stability and performance.

It no longer modifies the new tab page to maintain a predictable new tab experience for users.
