Skype Web Toolbars 2.0 are out of beta

As it says. More details [in the forum](http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=48744). [Download.](http://www.skype.com/download/skypewebtoolbar/) Here are the highlights. “Web as a phone book” rocks :)

> The most important feature is they try to turn the entire web into a big phone book – every phone number found on a web page can be called.

> Phone number recognition is not perfect (it never will be) but it is as close as we can get it. If you find a page where we don’t properly recognize the number please post a link and (even better) a suggestion as to a rule that would eliminate those numbers. Such a rule could be: “Swedish number almost always have one of more dividing characters(.- /). If a digit sequence is found on a Swedish page that is written without such, it most likely is not a phone number” or “Cambodian numbers always have 8 digits”. We know those two and a few thousand more – but I am sure there are such rules we don’t know! So if you find an error — please let us know.

    As usual, Skype have omitted to mention that this toolbar is for Internet Explorer or Firefox on PC only (.exe file), not for Mac
