I have Firefox 3.0.3 and greasemonkey 0.8.20080608.0 installed, and it still works fine? It does not depend on the code of Google Reader anymore, as it just changes the title that firefox has for the page, so it should work regardless of code changes at Reader.

This script has ceased to work. I don't know if it's because I upgraded to Firefox 3b and Greasemonkey 0.8 preview, or because Google Reader changed their code, but it isn't working anymore :-( I really miss it, it's one of the scripts I find most essential.

So, I've updated the script again.

This time it doesn't use any of the function names of the Google Reader application, so it should not need to be updated if Google changes anything again.

It just sets a watch on the document title and changes it appropriately every time it is updated. Much better! :)

I updated the script since the function names of the Google Reader seemed to be rotated somehow (the function which was named "eg" before is now named "fg", and "se" is named "te").
I don't know if this is some kind of regular rotation of the names of the obfuscated functions, done by Google or what, but if they change again, I guess I better investigate some more... :)
