About Bing Bar?
The Bing Bar is a browser extension toolbar designed for Internet Explorer, and is developed and maintained by Microsoft. While it was previously available for Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft has since discontinued support for this browser. The toolbar integrates features from Windows Live and the Bing search engine, offering users a seamless browsing experience. With visually appealing features such as flip, slide, and rollover animations, as well as customizable colors and themes, the Bing Bar enhances the user interface. Additionally, the toolbar includes "flyout" content windows, allowing users to conveniently access the latest content from the MSN Portal without having to navigate away from their current browsing page.
