This is a huge issue that I've been trying to overcome. I've found it extremely difficult to explain what the toolbar does, and usually resort to just showing a demonstration of it. Once people see me use it in person, then they love it. If they don't see me use it in person, then they are generally very confused.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to explain what this toolbar does in a concise, easy to digest manner?

How about this?

Dashler is an attempt to re-imagine the toolbar minus all of the frustrations.

Be more productive: Using dashler is like putting a swiss knife in your pocket. You just whip it out when you need it. Get your job done quickly and easily inside of it. Smile and whip it back in. All without leaving the page and other messy stuff.

and so on...
