A toolbar that persists in a browser window across multiple Web pages during a browsing session is displayed. This toolbar includes multiple toolbar buttons. An updated toolbar is automatically received from a remote toolbar source that is independent of the multiple Web pages, and this updated toolbar includes a change to the toolbar buttons. The toolbar in the browser is replaced, during the browsing session, with this updated toolbar. The toolbar can also include one or more buttons based at least in part on customization information regarding a user of the browser.
