Google Reader Checker Chrome extension

First seen in 2009, Alerts & Updates. This page records what the extension did, whether it is still available, and what to use instead.

What it was

Showed the number of unread items in Google Reader on a toolbar badge. Google shut Google Reader down on 1 July 2013, so every Reader extension stopped working that day. Feedly, Inoreader and Feedbro took over for RSS reading in Chrome.
