I usually uninstall everything. There are times when I miss the checkboxes (I
got stuck with the Google toolbar, for example after installing Skype), and
sometimes when it just gets installed for you, at which point I trash the app
and the toolbar and go find something else.
It seems like everything under the sun now is shipping with one toolbar or
another though.
