You've got to love a script that does what it says and just works. Thank you:)

Although gmail now has a lab that does this, greader doesn't, and this one matches the author's other addon. As with the gmail script, does everything I want it to without unneeded stuff.

This is easily my favorite script. It's so useful, and the supporting documentation is thorough, yet succinct. Fabulous script, thank you so much!

Does what it advertises, and does it well.

This is great work! :D
Been using it since forever.

However, it seems it does not work properly when Priority Inbox is active in Gmail.

Is this something you can fix?

Nice and useful. Thanks!

Works as advertised. A must have script for Gmailers!

Works as described. There is only one thing missing: a notification sound.
I've added it quick and dirty:

// @resource      GMwavaudio http://gmflowplayer.googlecode.com/files/notify.wav


var au = document.createElement('audio');		//m00n
var oldcount = 0;					//m00n


this.poll = function() {
		if(!self.searchElement)
			return self.searchElement = self.getSearchElement();
		
		if(self.getChat() && self.newChat()) {
			return self.setIcon(self.icons.chat);
		}

		if(self.newMail()) {
			var unread = self.getUnreadCount();	//m00n
			if(unread > oldcount)			//m00n
				au.play();			//m00n
			oldcount = unread;			//m00n
			self.setIcon(self.getUnreadCountIcon());
		}
		else {
			self.setIcon(self.icons.read);
			oldcount = 0;				//m00n
		}
	}
		

Works as described and is really helpful. You should check out the authors greader favicon alert too.

A great script, just if it added the count from labels, it'd be even better (or am I just doing something wrong? ;) ).
