Has anyone seen this same work applied to Google Reader? There's quite a large header that takes up a lot of space on my netbook screen. I didn't see anything on the zenhabits.com site after a quick search either. Maybe I just need to start tinkering...

And also for maps.google.com, the interface is way too big in my opinion.

This removes many of the features I use regularly. Generally the only reason I use the web interface is to search, to mark items read, and to mark all those junk messages which my desktop email client already classified as junk.

So this removes 66% or more of the features I actually use.
