You might have heard Google is in the process of changing the design of its controversial black Google Bar across the top of most of its products. The company announced in a blog post on Wednesday that its infamousBar would be replaced with a pop-up that appears when you move your cursor over the Google logo.
Now, we found a quick hack that will give you a first look at the redesign, and it’s as easy as downloading an extension, loading it into a Google Chrome browser, changing a small bit of code and then enjoying that luxuriant new Google look that banishes the bar forever.

UPDATE: Some readers are reporting the update is now present on their browsers and Google accounts. To save you some time, check to see if the update is on your account before going through this process.
