Styles
Quick-and-dirty hide of everything I don't need to see when looking for information on a book (does not work as well on non-book pages). I also rearranged things so the basic book info (pub date, ISBN, #pages) makes it above the fold. Unfortunately some item pages end up with overlapping sections, but they're rare enough that I'm not going to worry about it. I just disable the style when looking at those pages. Feel free to comment if you figure out something that works everywhere. If Amazon is still too slow for you, try Amazon Mobile and Amazon Anywhere:
I got tired of Amazon's bloat - it takes forever to load, and there is just too much stuff on the screen. I tried to reduce the clutter ( Amazon - cleaner ), but that doesn't help the load time. Then I discovered Amazon has a mobile site (), which is virtually text-only (small icons and cover pics), and lightning-quick. Works well in a sidebar, too. I felt that it could use space a little more efficiently though. And removed a couple of categories I'm never going to use.
Updated to hide the new tab bar! Eliminates what I consider clutter on the iGoogle page (search box, tabs) so I can see more of my theme, and minimizes white space so more information can be displayed at once in the browser window. If you still want the search visible, you can just delete the "#sfrm," entry. Comments in code for every item, so you can customize to your liking.
Yet again, tweak to ensure I don't have to scroll horizontally on my portrait monitor.
Mostly posted for my own use; various chrome tweaks.
This keeps the standard mailboxes and labels visible at all times in the new Gmail. Nothing else. Very basic, but useful. I've also narrowed the sidebar, but you can easily widen it again. Fixed for Gmail changes on 2010/08/11
Personal style.
I have been using the iGoogle sidebar extension for Firefox, but it is not working for FF3. However, I discovered it is fairly easy to replicate the effect by simply creating a bookmark for iGoogle and having it open in the sidebar. It just needs a few style tweaks (based on my Clean iGoogle - hide what you don't use) to make it work right. It basically just eliminates the whitespace and removes the unnecessary components (header, footer, tabs), and floats the columns so they occur in one long column in the sidebar instead of side-by-side. I've also made another version, iGoogle sidebar display in Firefox - with tabs, if you want to leave the tabs visible.
Tweaks to iGoogle sidebar display in Firefox, to allow display of your tabs.
Personal use. Since I use iGoogle sidebar display in Firefox, this has all my little tweaks to the individual modules I use, for the narrower display.
