Peep almost any Apple forum or blog these days and you'll find a similar sentiment: The Mac Dock has got to go.

As it turns out, getting rid of that pesky bar of app, document, and folder icons sitting at the bottom or side of your Mac's screen is easier than you'd think: Simply replace it with the uBar 4, an upgraded Mac taskbar that gives you the freedom to customize your dock orientation and desktop theme.

Beloved by engineers at Google, Facebook, HP, LinkedIn, and Tumblr, uBar helps you get the most out of your Mac with features a-plenty, including tab grouping options, window previews, in-dock reminders, a favorites area, app activity monitoring, CPU and memory usage analysis, and track position detection in multimedia apps like iTunes and MPlayerX — all on a single, simple interface that can be displayed on one or all of the monitors you're using.

Kiss your Mac Dock goodbye for good by heading over to the Mashable Shop to purchase a lifetime license the uBar 4 toolbar, on sale for a limited time for the half-off price of only $14.99.
