Anti-bar Extension

This extension removes the black bar that Google now puts across the top of their applications. Use this extension if you (like me), find that spending 30 vertical pixels is too much in order to support simple navigation to things that you or may not want to use (and have other easy ways to get to). Furthermore, if you find the black bar visually jarring and distracting, and that it is essentially a continuous advertisement for Google services that you don't need to see, then this is for you.

The extension runs in the background and simply removes the black bar whenever a Google app is loaded (or refreshed). There is no visible user interface.

Privacy: This app does not access any page information of any kind - it simply runs once when the app is launched and removes the black bar - that's it.

(ID: ) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/07/2012 Works okay, but on G+, as you scroll down the stream, what's left of the bar is pinned and super-imposed over the posts, partially blocking the stream.
