Some useful hacks to enhance Google Reader experience; like being able to read the actual feed within reader (not just excerpt), adding a searchbox to the reader or changing the look and feel. You need Firefox for all and also GreaseMonkey extension for some.

Glad you liked it. I especially found the "Preview" button very useful (and "auto-add feed" function is very handy too.)
