Bring Back iGoogle's Tabs

A Google Web Search Help thread tells us how to change the iGoogle layout from the new tabs along the left-side of the page to the old style of tabs across the top of the page.

To bring back the old top tabs, just go to google.com/ig?hl=all. In the past, bring up the old top tabs worked by going to google.com/ig?gl=all but now google.com/ig?hl=all is how to get there.

Here is a picture of the old tabs:

Thanks for sharing this, Barry. I hate the new sidebar thing on iGoogle. I much prefer the tabs.

If you use firefox, you can reclaim the lost screen real estate by using an addon that I wrote. It also can be used to reduce the size of the header as well. I hope you like it.
