Many users rely heavily on Google Services. Including me. And I use most of their web apps. Now, if you know, there is a black navigation bar at the top of every Google website through which you can easily navigate through their services. However, this navigation bar is not available on other non-Google sites. So how do I put this navigation bar on other pages and get quick access to Google Services?

After enough digging on the Chrome Web Store, I found an extension that solves this problem. It will not give you a navigation bar, but a menu through which you can quickly access your most used Google Services and also get a small preview of the service in the menu itself.
Black Menu is a Chrome extension that gives you quick access to your favorite Google Services. So let’s explore some of its cool features and see how you can customize it to your needs.
Quick access and preview
As soon as you install an extension, your signed in Google accounts will automatically sync with that extension. You’ll need to give permissions to services like Gmail and Keep, though. So pretty simple here you take the Google service on the right as the menu. Hover over a service and on the left you’ll get a widget style preview of the service.
You can interact with specific services in the widget. You can search on Google and YouTube, send e-mails with the Gmail extension, and translate with Google Translate. All services work fine in widget.

Sort your favorite services
Hover Than menu option and you will get a list of all Google Services that can work with this extension. So all you have to do is just drag and drop your favorite services into the menu. If you want to remove any service from the menu, drag it in Than menu options.
Multiple accounts
You can sign in to multiple Google accounts in the extension. Click the profile pic icon and then click More account. This can be useful for Gmail and other Google services like Calendar and Keep.

Open Widgets in a New Tab or Panel
You can open a specific widget in a new panel and use it as a standalone application. Also if you want to open extension in new tab then just right click on extension icon and you will get option for Opens in a new page.
Setting
In the settings, you can customize options for specific services. Alternatively, you can choose how to open the extensions in the extension from hover to click. There is also an option for unread counts in the extension. The unread count on the extension is still being tested.
Any other good way to access Google services?
Well, there is a very cool way and that is Google App Launcher. But, it will stop working this June. We have shared some alternatives to it. The Black Menu can also be one of the alternatives for quick access to Google Services. So let other readers know in the comments if you know anything.
