LAS VEGAS, AFP – A Google toolbar to streamline tasks such as searching the internet or bookmarking online pages has made its debut in Cuba.
The US internet giant on Wednesday updated its Spanish-language blog to say people in Cuba could download the toolbar, which can be affixed atop browsers for quick access to Google services or capabilities when venturing online.
The move came a day after the United States authorised commercial ferry services to Cuba for the first time in more than half a century, another major step in improving relations between the two countries.
US President Barack Obama in December initiated the landmark thaw in relations, breaking a nearly six-decade Cold War-rooted estrangement between the two countries by lifting sanctions on travel and some trade.
