Add these two filters to remove the 'blackbar' ##div#gbx3 and ##div#gbx4 and it's goodbye 'blackbar'. Also, if you have that pesky 'install google chrome' button showing and you want it GONE, add this filter ##div#pmocntr2.pmoabsWayneConfidentialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544125437245911256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-39905955613422194032012-01-20T09:27:10.668-08:002012-01-20T09:27:10.668-08:00How is how I removed/disabled the black navigation...How is how I removed/disabled the black navigation bar without installing any plugins or use any scripts (it is very easy!):<br /><br />http://tweakdump.blogspot.com/2011/11/lean-google-homepage.htmlJoerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514819125346329082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-36861079968539287462012-01-19T16:56:06.486-08:002012-01-19T16:56:06.486-08:00lose the black bar too distracting,hate it....lose the black bar too distracting,hate it....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-54110376329949620082012-01-09T14:40:42.861-08:002012-01-09T14:40:42.861-08:00Just used Explorer to access a bank site because t...Just used Explorer to access a bank site because the black bar search makes it impossible to use the secret code pad of this particular bank site, no problem with explorer as google bar on there is white! It only seems to be the crome google bar that is black. Think I'll deleate crome cause it has problems with Adobe reader too, keeps refussing to work, tells me to download then refuses to download Adobe Reader because apparently you dont need it with crome, but crome wont play clips on u tube and other, so it is a real F@*&#NG mess up at crome if you ask me, it's not worth it, thow out crome and use firefox or go back to explorer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-31767543718924594022012-01-09T14:30:39.408-08:002012-01-09T14:30:39.408-08:00The Black bar effects some banking sites and makes...The Black bar effects some banking sites and makes it impossible to enter your password on the special keypad, because where it used to be white with black numbers, it is now black with no numbers, so you have no idea what you are entering.

While it certainly doesn't seem to be the most popular aesthetic choice ever made by Google, your post was the first to make me aware of it, so thanks!<br /><br />Maybe I'm missing something here, but did Google roll this w/out the ability to "revert back" to the classic UI like they typically do? I'm assuming "no", owing to the of level of rancor on this forum.<br /><br />I understand that it's more than just a black strip, it's a threat to one of the core design principals that attracted so many of you to Google (the whole Einstein "simple as possible but no simpler" thing), but really, these are what Louis C.K. would plainly call<br /><br />"white people problems"...<br /><br />eheh, <br /><br />Christian Hunter<br />Austin, TexasChristian Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785910208611025614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-18933629190611921892012-01-04T01:04:15.498-08:002012-01-04T01:04:15.498-08:00It's now 2012.

So much easier back then. Now I have to click 'more'. ( One day google had a good idea to put translate on the black bar, but that soon too went to 'more'later on. )<br /><br />Black bar...was stupid.<br />New design with big thing at the left...even stupider.<br /><br />I wonder if that greasemonkey script still works?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-38173161050956551922011-12-31T13:10:59.079-08:002011-12-31T13:10:59.079-08:00Marketing is in charge of software now, because of...Marketing is in charge of software now, because of a greed/love for money, even though google is the richest software company THEY HAVE TO HAVE MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE. Marketing being in charge is what ruined WinDoze in 2006 (Windoze F'Ya') and now Google in 2010/2011 with the arrogance of UI-OUR-WAY or the highway and very few or just abstract "options" instead of letting the USER control the layout of the USER interface. It's just plain money-loving arrogance and people need to start getting a clue. It would be EASY for google and the other LARGE software companies to provide FULL UI layout options and retain a classic-look for web products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-38421474063570839192011-12-24T17:17:49.187-08:002011-12-24T17:17:49.187-08:00oh grow the f#ck up, "Im going to leave ameri...oh grow the f#ck up, "Im going to leave america because of its black bars, ill move to... texas, where white peo.. bars are white bars!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-38744659390951191392011-12-13T00:52:44.452-08:002011-12-13T00:52:44.452-08:00I hate it how I'm constantly distracted by how...I hate it how I'm constantly distracted by how pretty new the design is.Timhttp://thinkhtml.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-51101626983555563222011-12-11T19:28:42.600-08:002011-12-11T19:28:42.600-08:00you should do an article on how the internet has b...you should do an article on how the internet has become THE ultimate system for tracking and monitoring individuals effectively destroying any concept of privacy without a squeak from the masses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-31296536619119133632011-12-03T14:54:38.374-08:002011-12-03T14:54:38.374-08:00I f**king hate all those extra bars...any bars.
