Developer Builds
Opens new tabs in background when you press ‘v’ in Google reader.
Updated to version 0.4. Some of the issues pointed out below are resolved now.
does not work !
Awesome! This really what I was needed in GReader. Thank you!
how does it work for you? did i do something wrong?
ok , now it also works for me, in “list view”.
is it planned to work in “expanded view” as well?
thx for this application!
Nice extension, really needed since chrome won’t let you open news items from Google Reader in a background tab. Only problem is the extension intercepts some presses of the ‘v’ key at the wrong time, such as when you editing tags and ‘trying’ to email a news item to a friend. Otherwise, great extension!
Yeah that’s what I need, but it doesn’t seem to work (:
Hey guys, I like this idea a lot, but this extension doesn’t work well, as others noted. Go to http://sites.google.com/site/ggchromium/ for my enhanced version.
Changes include:
1. Effective only when Shift-V is pressed. Pressing ‘v’ triggers the default action of GReader.
2. Opens the link next to the current tab.
3. Works both in Expanded View and List View.
Enjoy it!
Hi guys, thank you for the feedback.
I updated the extension so that
1. It works in Detailed view
2. Does not interfere with emailing, etc
I did a quick test and I don’t think you fixed the interference. I think I have a solution now. Go to http://sites.google.com/site/ggchromium/ for my version.
roy_hu,
Am I invited to use your code in this extension?
Or will you sign up and post your own here?
In the latter case I am willing to take mine down.
You’re welcome to integrate my code. That’s why I hold back to upload my version.
Perfect – works as expected. I was always annoyed by items opening in foreground tabs – now I can finally read my newsfeeds w/o mouse
well, it works for me, but it opens everything twice, it’s pretty annoying.
Using Google Chrome 4.0.249.22 for Mac OS X, when I press v, TWO background tabs open instead of one. Other than that, thank you for this extension!
It opens two identical tabs when I press V. Did I do something wrong while installation?
Scott, Santosh,
Thanks for the feedback. hmm strange… it doesn’t happen on my Chrome.
Anyway I’ve uploaded a new version with small fixes. Would you please try it and see
if that problem still happens?
Just downloaded the new version and it still seems to open every tab twice. :/
does not work
with the latest versione of Chrome (4.0.288.1 dev) open every tab twice.
any tips for restoring the normal behavior?
still problem with loading two tabs every time – any update as this extension is exactly what I need
Works as advertised on a Mac for me. Thanks a lot!
Fails badly in 5.0.322.2. Opens 12 windows for one ‘v’ press. Worked up until that version.
You have a typo:
Get hold of utlity extensions for chrome’
Should read
utility!
Thanks for writing this, it works great in Chrome version 5.0.342.9 beta on OSX.
