Add Extra Features To Google Reader Like Inline Article Previews

Posted by

I’ve been a big fan of Google Reader since I started to learn how to use it. However, there are still some features that are missing from it like the inline article previews which is really helpful if you subscribe to a feed that doesn’t show the complete article; only the summary. Good thing there is Better GReader, a Firefox add-on that add extra features to Google Reader.

Better GReader compiles some of the best user scripts and styles for Google Reader into one convenient interface.

Features of Better GReader:

1. Inline article previews (you can set it manually or automatically)

If you subscribe to a feed like KillerStartup’s, you’ll notice that its feed is only showing the summary so you have to click Read More and you’ll be transferred to its website before you can read the whole article.Summary Feed

BUT if you’re using Better GReader, you can read the complete post on the reader itself!

Better GReader - Inline Preview

To do this, just go to Tools –> Add-ons –> Better GReader –> Options and under General tab, choose between Preview Item (automatically) or Preview Item by click of a button.

3. You can also use Better GReader to add color to Google Reader, hide the “X people like this” or the unread item count and many more! This add-on also allows you to auto-add feeds to Google Reader which will bypass choice between iGoogle or Google Reader when subscribing to feeds.

Download Better GReader and you’ll never regret it!
