If you are using Safari, Opera or any other web browser which doesn’t support official StumbeUpon toolbar, don’t worry yet. There are few tools with less, same and even more functionalities that are officially supported in the toolbar.

Here are some tips on how to get use the toolbar. They will work independently of the OS:

For Any Web Browser:

Just use the following link:

http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/#url

It will open a new page, just as if you “stumbled’”.

If you want to stumble specific web page, you can always use the following link
http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/#url=http://www.favbrowser.com

In order to save it to your favorites, you will have to login to StumbeUpon first.

Opera Only

You can also install Opera Stumbler toolbar which will add a submenu to your menu bar. Just enter your username, password and you are ready to go.

Few nice features in this toolbar are: StumbleThru which opens web addresses within a domain name and Channel Surf which opens web pages with a specific tag or keyword.

Safari Only

Stumbli, plugin for Safari which allows you to stumble 100 times (after that, you will have to pay $4). It supports stumbling and voting, toolbar buttons, submitting discoveries and send-to-a-friend options.

Google Toolbar for Opera? In case you would like to use Google Toolbar in your Opera web browser, I’d like to tell you that there isn’t any official one (and probably won’t ever be). However, there’s a solution and gabydewilde has something to offer. It’s a widget called “GoogleToolBar”. It’s not a real alternative to Google Toolbar, but author is working on new version (although the previous version was released on Jun 15, 2006) which will include better UI configuration, more publisher tools for blogger and more.

By using this widget you may add or remove any integrated buttons you want, even create custom ones as well as change icons size.

I am not a big fan of any web browsers toolbars and even couldn’t find a comfortable place to keep this widget. Maybe you’ll get luckier.

If the widget author will continue working on it, I believe that in the near future it might be a really useful one. So far, it still needs lots if improvements. Feel free to try it and see yourself.
