    I don’t think this really warrants having to be an extension. All this is, is just a really simple user script–that injects a style into the webpage–that’s packaged as a Chrome extension.

    This should just be a stand-alone user script – and only a user script, in my opinion.

    like a green-monkey scpirit i used to install.

    but maybe it should upload as soon as the Google Reader does. coz any change will made it unstable or got wrong.

    anyhow,it’s a fantastic extention.
    tks for sharing.

    Great extension, but, I really need the “Expanded” and “List View” commands as I switch between these quite frequently.

    Anyway to add that?

    abhiroopb,

    you can use keyboard short cuts ’1′ and ’2′ to switch views.

    Thanks, would consider adding these two commands onto the compact view?

    Could you please do that this great extension wouldn’t work on Google search page?
    Because it hides top menu bar where I switch search type

    The link icons to the original articles is disappeared.
    Is it possible to get it back? Not all rss feeds shows the original article’s content as is :(

    Serj,

    Click on the ‘title’. It will take you the the original article

    brinks,

    yep thank you, didn’t noticed that :)
    but not so convenient if you prefer read a lot of news in compact view (hotkey “2″) – you must expand article first and only then click on title
