Since practically all browsers come with some sort of search bar baked right in, the iGoogle header - you know, the part with the iGoogle logo and the Google search bar - is pretty redundant. Collapsed Google IG minimizes this portion of iGoogle giving you more space for your iGoogle modules. It's not gone forever, though - when you mouse over the header, the iGoogle logo and search bar will reappear. Speaking of iGoogle, don't forget to send us yours! Collapsed Google IG is a free download and works with Firefox and Greasemonkey.
