How to remove the white space in Google+

Google+ released its updated and brand new look few days ago. The change was welcomed by the google+ community and was well received. However the fluid layout redesign has caused some unhappiness among some google+ users due to the whitespace that appears in between the trending column on the left and the fixed chat column on the right. You wont see or experience whitespace unless you are using a high resolution screen or monitor. While browsing online blogs i found a plugin that works on FireFox and Google Chrome , it allows you to remove the white space between trending column and the chat column on the right. If you tried it add a comment to tell and tell me what do you think of it. source

A new look for Google+

Google+ has a new interface that brings a lot of changes. It's not yet available to everyone and that's because it rolls out over the next few days. The new interface has a vertical navigation bar that lets you reorder and hide apps. When you mouse over an app, Google+ shows a list of quick actions. This change will make it easier to add third-party apps in the future.  There are two new pages in the navigation bar: a hangouts page that lists the invitations from the people you've added to your circles, as well as a list of popular hangouts and an explore page for "what's hot".
