Google Reader Trick: Mobile + Sidebar

User of Google Reader? Tired of constantly loading the website to check for new items? Found this trick while cruising the interwebs yesterday:

1. Visit https://www.google.com/reader/i/ — the mobile version of Google Reader


2. Using Firefox, bookmark the page (you are using Firefox, right?). Throw it into your Bookmarks Menu


3. Go Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks and single click the bookmark


4. Click the “More” button at the bottom of the window


5. Check the “Load this bookmark in the sidebar” button


6. Double-click the bookmark and watch as a Firefox sidebar gets tacked onto your browsing window. Now you can just refresh whenever you want without having a separate window or tab open.

Enjoy!(Tip o’ the hat to David Griffiths)
