Best of: Bloglines Greasemonkey Scripts

January 4th, 2008

If you use a web-based feed reader, there are quite a few choices available to you these days. Without a doubt, the two most popular options for keeping your feeds online are Google Reader and Bloglines.

Generally speaking, the more popular a product is, the more Greasemonkey scripts it will have. Bloglines is no exception, with tons of scripts available. As a result, I decided to dig around and pull some of the best scripts available for Bloglines. As always, you will need to have the Greasemonkey extension installed in your Firefox web browser in order to use these:
