Windows only: Customize Google for IE doesn’t offer all the myriad options of its Firefox progenitor , but Internet Explorer users still get more security and privacy, and less lock-in, from Google’s products. CustomizeGoogle’s Firefox extension is a great tweaker for anyone who does serious Google searching—it was one of our must-have extensions in 2006, and narrowly missed the cut for the 2009 edition .
