I recently had a problem with Google Chrome crashing because I had installed a Skype Toolbar .
Skype Toolbars is an add-on for widely-used browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome.
Skype, as most members know, is a program that let you chat for free, with or without video, and make phone calls ( not free ) through your PC. Skype Toolbars cannot be downloaded as a separate program, as it comes bundled with the Skype installer since the 3.0 version. However, you can opt to install it or not during the full program installation.
( It places a button in your browser’s toolbar that can be used to activate/deactivate the Skype Extension for your browser. When activated, it will automatically highlight every phone number found on a web page (and, if desired, the name related to that number), allowing you to make a phone call through Skype just by clicking on the highlighted phone number. When you click on a number, you can also change the country code that Skype must dial to communicate with that phone number. You can add this number to your Skype contacts, or send it to the clipboard for later use ).
This may be useful to some, but when Google Chrome repeatedly crashed, I uninstalled the Skype Toolbar, and can still use Skype for free internet chatting.
