For some time I’ve been using the Greasemonkey script Google Reader Absolutely Customizable to gain some additional space at the top of my browser screen on my notebook. Here’s how Google Reader has looked in my browser up until today.
Now with the addition of the Hide GUI Bars extension(hat tip Lifehacker), I’ve gained the additional space from my customized menu bar and the status bar. I’ve used tool bar hiding scripts and extensions before, but found them wanting. I like Hide GUI Bars hide/unhide hotkey, the status bar replacement when hovering over links, and it's tab bar behavior when new links open in the background. I also like how it turns off momentarily when you open a new tab with ctrl-t, so I don't lose any of the functionality of my highly customized menu bar.
So here’s how Firefox looks now when browsing Google Reader:
Much better. Highly recommended, especially for those of you with netbooks.
