I’ve just uploaded the gpMin Chrome extension source code to Google Code for your amusement

Have fun.

http://code.google.com/p/gpmin/

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).

The latest release of gpMin includes:

• The number of comments in the toggle bar
• The content type icon in the toggle bar

You can find gpMin on the Chrome Webstore

Stream posts close up

[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

I’ve been using my own custom extension in Chrome to remove the search header in iGoogle for a while and thought someone else might like to use it.

It’s very simple and contains the following code:
var el = document.getElementById('nhdrwrap');
el && el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
