The DailyProductivityTools Toolbar is packed as a browser extension that claims to increase your productivity with access to free online tools. Web surfers do not need to pay a monthly subscription or buy a license for the DailyProductivityTools Toolbar. You can download the DailyProductivityTools browser extension at dailyproductivitytools.com/index.jhtml and install it to your Internet client for free. The DailyProductivityTools app is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. as an ad-supported program that is nearly identical to the Productivity Boss Toolbar that Mindspark released in August 2016.

When you install the DailyProductivityTools browser extension, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. The installers for the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox differ from the extension available on Google Chrome. The IE and MF versions of DailyProductivityTools may alter the start page, primary search provider and new tab page settings of your Internet client. DailyProductivityTools may take control of these parameters and directs your Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox to load Hp.myway.com/dailyproductivitytools/ttab02/ instead of thr pages you set manually.
