There are a few ways to download Rally Toolbar. First of all, you can acquire the plugin via the official website at rally.io. There you will encounter pieces of information that say this plugin is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7 operating systems and Firefox and Chrome web browsers. However, the official website is not the only place where you can get this extension. Rally Toolbar is also available for download at a number of third party websites that distribute third party applications. Although some users make think that Rally Toolbar is a browser hijacker that is not true, because you need to initiate the installation yourself.
What does Rally Toolbar do?
Once the installation it initiated, a toolbar is added to your browser (either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, or both). The toolbar has a search box and a number of Facebook feed buttons. Basically, if you log in to your Facebook account via this toolbar, all of your notifications will be automatically transferred to Rally Toolbar. This raises important questions about security, because it is doubtful whether this toolbar can be trusted with your Facebook credentials. What is more, when the toolbar is installed, your default home page is changed to my.rally.io by default. There is actually no option that would allow you to avoid the home page modification, and that is definitely something you would not expect from a reliable plugin.
