The one menu to access all your preferred google services with a single click. Welcome to the Black menu, this is a Google chrome extension and it unifies all the Google services under one roof such as Google docs, Gmail, Google +, Youtube etc….
This extension is meant to be a replacement for both, iGoogle and the quickly removed google menu. Since Google Chrome is cross-platform, it should work in Windows, Mac and Ubuntu systems. Install Black Menu by going to the link below.
