Battle of the Toolbars

Battle of the Toolbars

For a very long time, I remember going to Bobby Heartrates Mafia Tools, and getting my first bookmarklets. Then I would move on to Vern’s tools and use some of his, then it were on to jMiller, Arun & Spockholm. Very soon, you would find your Bookmark bar Filled up with different bookmarklets from all different sources.  I found a Firefox add-on that gives you multiple bookmark bars but it just got over crowed with different bookmarklets. Then the first Multi-bookmarklet tool was released (at least the one I found and LOVED), made by Mr. Wizard himself called “One” made this one. It was an all in one bookmarklet that had all the most common bookmarklets inside it. So you click one time, and you get all your bookmarklets that you use on a daily basis.

Today, there are a handful of very good bookmarklet Toolbars coming out that has all the bookmarklets you use build into it.  We are going to cover the Top 3 today.

First there is UnLockedMW, I used this one for a long time. I Love all the features this has built into it. Alessandro started UnlockedMW, right after he left Playerscripts (MWAP). He spent a lot of time building this from the ground up and you can tell. It was one of the fastest growing toolbar scripts out there and one of the smallest to install. With only 300 lines of code, it made the footprint very small with a powerful punch. You can check out UnlockedMW at http://unlockedmw.com or there Facebook Fanpage

Then there is GuessX, GuessX has been around for a very long time and has developed some of his own really good scripts. He also has released a toolbar that has the majority of all the bookmarklets you use on a daily basis.  This was my Favorite toolbar. You can check out GuessX’s Toolbar, as well as his other scripts at Website or there Facebook Fan page

Both of the above toolbars use the Bookmarklets from Spockholm. Seeing that Spockholm is the leader in Mafia wars bookmarklets today, it’s only fitting that other people include his scripts in their toolbar.

It was also only a matter of time before the team at Spockholm created their own toolbar. Well, that time is now.  I was lucky enough to get to test this bookmarklet and I have to say that this is the #1 Best Bookmarklets toolbar out there today for Mafia wars.  Once released, you can have your own opinion, but for me, this is it.

Team Spockholm has made a great YouTube video that gives you a sneak peak at what is to come. I have been using this toolbar since it was giving to me and this is the best mafia wars toolbar out today. I love that fact that you can load in any of your favorite bookmarklets that are not made by Spockholm, and also, you can search for any bookmarklet made by Spockholm right from the toolbar.  We will make another post covering all the great features of this toolbar soon. Keep an eye on Spockholm’s Facebook Fan page for updates.
