This! Large sticky header is the worst design trend in web design. Google does it too, Gmail, Groups. Google Groups is the worst with 3 levels of fixed large headers, taking up 1/4 to 1/3 of the laptop screen.

Edit: Kill Sticky Headers doesn't work with them :(. Looks like they are iframe. Is there a kill outer iframe?

Ya, me too, it mostly works great. Sometimes the web page becomes unresponsive (to all input), so I have to refresh it and try again.
