You know you’re addicted to Google Reader when you start writing Greasemonkey scripts to make it look better!

Google Reader is far and away the best feed aggregator out there but the interface could do with some improvement. Recently added was the much needed ability to hide the side menu but in the same update they added a honking great search bar at the top, a bunch of white space and some more buttons at the bottom! So I just decided to scrap everything at the top and bottom - making it much more readable in smaller browser windows. Download here.

**Updated 27th September 2007:**

Google added a menu that cocked it up so I have updated the script remove the menu.
