gpMin in a non-extend-able browser

gpMin IconHere’s a trick to get gpMin running in a browser other than Chrome/Firefox – I use it in the browser of my Acer A500 Android Tablet.

Add this link to your bookmarks: Apply gpMin

And run it whenever you load Google+. It’ll remain as long as you don’t refresh the page – in which case, just run it again.

The link runs the following code:

javascript: (function() {
  var script = document.createElement("script");
  script.type = "text/javascript";
  script.src = "http://gpmin.googlecode.com/git/gpmin.js";
  script.onload = function() { gpMin(document); };
  document.body.appendChild(script);
})();

For non-programmers, it takes the gpMin extension javascript file (from gpmin.googlecode.com) and runs it in your browser (similar to how the extension works).

Ps. This is a major hack and is a form of Cross-site scripting (XSS) enabling the gpMin code to be injected into your secure (https) Google+ page. It should be noted that this is what ANY extension you use on G+ is doing.

gpMin Firefox Extension is here!

This firefox extension wraps the gpMin Chrome extension and has been tested in Firefox 3.6, 4, and 5.

Installing this software could bring about the Apocalypse, harm your unborn child, cause rickets and generally cause all manner of bad things. Do so at your own risk.

But in all seriousness, I wrote gpMin in a day and the wrapper in a morning – it may or may not work for you.

Install the gpMin Firefox Extension!

Note: The only reason this extension isn’t on addons.mozilla.org is because it uses some deprecated events that they don’t like. I’m not looking to change the code as gpMin is a stop gap until Google changes the UI themselves (which I’m sure they will).

gpMin – A Chrome Extension for Google+

[DISCONTINUED]

I’ve uploaded a small extension called “gpMin” that minimises your stream posts on Google+ and adds an expand/collapse bar to them.

You can find gpMin on the Chrome Webstore
