Google Maps - Draws a scrolling map of any address or latitude/longitude point in the United States and Canada.. Features dynamic maps, driving directions and satellite views.
Search History - This is a very handy way to locate web pages you found once and want to see again.
Search for Movies or Weather - Google search box accommodates more kinds of searches than ever.
Google Video - Search the closed captioning of TV programs to find cool quotes from your favorite shows, or discover shows you didn't know were on. Learn more about an individual program, see still images from it, and find out when it will air next.
And then there's Google Content Blocker - Google's mission is to organize the world's advertising for maximum exposure to Web users. Unfortunately, annoying Web content often overwhelms the page, causing many users to become distracted and overlook the ads. That's where Google Content Blocker comes in. It effectively blocks all Web site content, leaving only the advertisements.
