Looks like the last defect marked as Accepted here was in 2011; I've pinged him
through various methods and no response. *sigh*, guess this project's dead.

I think, I've got a fix. Have to get in touch with the author to see what he
says about my modifications...

Ansel Santosa, the author, is not replying to me at this time. I will go ahead
and make it available, but if he gets back to me with objections, please,
respect his opinion.
Are you able to download and install the extension as the MGC.crx file from
here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_W0sl_mP_8_MGt5R05DU1dNdms/view?usp=sharing
?
You can also take a look at my own customizations available here:

You can copy its contents, paste it on the extensions' options page and import.
Or you can grab just the custom CSS code, which is towards the end of the
document, and paste it in the "General" section under "Custom CSS" field. It
removes as much superflous space (especially vertical) as possible, see if you
like it.
Here is the story of my own development:
After response number 4 in January, I thought to my self, let me see, if I can
solve this. Having worked extensively with JavaScript and CSS I poked around in
the console and managed to come up with some JS code to restore the needed
behavior. Then I thought to myself, it should be simple to just inject the
couple of lines and get it working again. Turns out I could not modify the
extension's code in place. Never worked with Chrome extensions before, but
decided to give it a shot. Then managed to unpack it and get it into
development mode. But I guess, the development standards (specifically the
security policy of Chrome's extensions) have since progressed a great deal, so
I had to perform an entire overhaul of the extension for it to simply load with
no errors, I basically modernized it by upgrading all of the old API calls and
I added my own fix.
Thanks.

Thank you ldashevs...@gmail.com - it works great (instructions on how to
install .crx:

Unfortunately Chrome has disabled MGC.crx (in my case after restart or next
day) because it does not come from Chrome Web Store, and it can not be enabled
again (except if using Dev version of Chrome); see:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2811969?p=ui_remove_non_cws_extensions&
rd=1&hl=en for more info. @ldashevs...@gmail.com would you make it to the
Chrome Web Store (and please update extension version number as a fork, so that
it is easy to see that your version is higher than the last one by Ansel
Santosa?).

I, unfortunately, do not have the time at the moment to deal with putting it
into Chrome Web Store.
Let me know, if this other approach works for you better or not. Here is a link
not to a *.crx file, but the entire source folder itself:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_W0sl_mP_8_dWFwSkNKQ2YtNGs&usp=sharing
On your Extensions page on the top right make sure that the "Developer mode"
checkbox is checked, then at the top you get a button "Load unpacked
extension...", use it to point to the folder with the source code from the link
above.

I have installed the Dev version of Chrome for Windows and everything works
fine with MGC.crx.

Yes, that's another approach. The dev version, is that Chromium with bluish
icon instead of regular? Keep in mind though, from what I know, its downside is
that it does not update on its own...

The icon is normal, it may contain bugs. Will see how it works and if updates
or not.
