How to get the new Google NavBar

If you were just getting used to the black Google services navigation bar, the search company is already getting rid of it. Google announced that it’s “ready for the next stage” of its redesign, part of which is a new service navigation system nested under the Google logo.

Google’s new navigation bar links to your services in a drop-down menu nested under the Google logo across several services, including Search, News, Gmail, Google+ and Maps.he nav bar has three main regions – on the left, the Google logo menu shows a list of links Google services when you hover over it and lets you access additional Google sites by hovering over the ‘More’ link at the bottom of the list. The central area has a search box and the right side has a share box and Google+ notification .
The new menu is displayed whether you are signed into your Google account or not. When singed in, the right portion of the bar displays the number of alerts on your Google+ account (viewable when you click on the number in the red box) and you can share items to your circles from the same menu, as long as you are on a Google property using the bar.
The (now) old-style black navigation bar was launched just six months ago and is being ditched in favor of the new system.


How to get it :


If you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer 8+, open google.com in a new tab, load Chrome's JavaScript console (Ctrl+Shift+J), Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K), Safari's Web Inspector  or IE's Developer Tools (press F12 and select the "console" tab) and paste the following code :

document.cookie="PREF=ID=03fd476a699d6487:U=88e8716486ff1e5d:FF=0:LD=en:CR=2:TM=1322688084:LM=1322688085:S=McEsyvcXKMiVfGds; path=/; domain=.google.com";window.location.reload();


It works ! Enjoy the new Google navigation bar !
