About Broderbund Toolbar?

The Broderbund Toolbar is a Conduit toolbar available for Internet Explorer and Firefox. This toolbar is designed to customize and enhance the user's browsing experience by providing a search box and various other generic features. Additionally, the toolbar may collect and store information about the user's web browsing behavior to suggest services or provide relevant advertising. It is important for users to exercise caution during installation as the toolbar may attempt to change the home page and search provider settings. If the home page and search settings are modified by the toolbar, the user will need to manually revert them back if they decide to uninstall the toolbar. Furthermore, the toolbar may automatically download and install updates without prior notification to the user. It is important to note that the End User License Agreement (EULA) specifies that the Application may collect and store browsing information locally on the user's device, which may be used to suggest services or provide relevant ads. However, only generalized inferences are passed from the Application to Conduit's servers.
