Have you seen the new Google Related toolbar popup for you yet? It shows up on the bottom of your screen. Looking at this law firm out of Mesa, AZ the toolbar popped up and showed other local law firm Google maps listings, related videos and additional web pages. I noticed reviews and other local restaurants when I searched for a local restaurant.

The Related bar will stay minimized unless you hover over. You do have the option to disable it if you don’t want it popping up. The option to disable Related or hide the tool for specific Web sites is available in the options menu.

Data collected via Related is similar to how Google collects search information. According to Google, the Related extension operates by sending Google certain information about your machine and web sites at the time you visit them, including the URL of the web site, your machine’s IP address, and one or more Google cookies. This data is retained in Google’s server logs and maintained according to our general Privacy Policy.
