The only information the extension uses is the title of the page and the URL to be sure that the extension works on all versions of igoogle, including the non-US versions. The code can easily be read to ensure that nothing malicious is occurring.
enjoy the addon,
David

When I hit the install button, I get a warning that this extension can access my data on all websites. What’s up with that? Does it mean my login info for my bank’s web site will now go to the person who wrote this extension?

Hi.. I’ve made an extension for iGoogle too which can be used to hide both the search area and the left navigation area thereby maximising the area available for gadgets. You can find it here

As a mac user I can’t install extensions or manage bookmarks or quite a few other things yet. My greatest despair is the stupid home tab that takes up sooo much of my screen. Can’t use Chrome until they fix it. My eyes can’t take the tiny text that is forced on the screen because of the lack of real estate. I check back every couple of weeks to see if there’s any help, but no. Just venting here. Good on you for the extension you’ve made.

Did this really have to be packaged as an Extension? I’m going to assume this is just a simple user script hooked-in using a manifest.

When you open *.user.js files in Chrome, you are now presented with an Install screen — making it much more friendly to install user scripts. Plus, user scripts will now be available by default, without having to add the `–enable-user-scripts’ flag.

So really, this would be more suitable on UserScripts.org, or something.

Lots and lots of iGoogle users are pretty upset about the recent navibar change. It’s wasting space and doesn’t add functionality.

So yes, this extension is very useful!

David, despite the few naysayers, this is a very welcome addition to Chrome and I, and a lot of other users, am thankful for it. That Home tab was the most ridiculous thing added to the iGoogle page yet.

Thanks again.
