HowTo: Remove the Bloat From iGoogle
I’ve been using the iGoogle home page for quite some time now, and it is an exceptional online tool – Infinitely modifiable to ones wants and needs. I have mine setup nicely so I can jump on and instantly see whats going on in all the areas that interest me. It is effectively a ‘Next-Gen’ newspaper, and one I cannot easily live without these days.
But some time ago Google forcefully rolled out a new version with the Canvas View feature, which adds a tab bar down the left hand side and makes a lot of the gadgets capable of maximizing to the width of the page without having to actually load a new page. It is very cool in some respects and I’m sure many people simply love its usefulness. I am not one of those people.
