Google Reader Subscribers Count

Shows how many subscribers to the feed with google reader.

This script checks if the html contains alternate links to a feed on every page you visit. When an unknown feed found, it sends a request to google reader using your account for the number of subscribers. And it caches the number for subsequent visits. The cache is cleared every 24 hours.

Hi hronir.
My environment cannot reproduce the bug. I won't fix this at the moment.
Thanks, anyway.

Hi,
it seems to me that this script does not work on every site, for example on my blog:
http://hronir.blogspot.com

Here is what happens to me.

If I make the google request
http://www.google.com/reader/directory/search?h...
I get a non-zero number (now it counts 10 subscribers). But in contrast of this, I see all the three counters of my three feeds as zero in the bottom-right div your script create on my page.
I suspect that the problem is in the encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent, since I found I get the Your search did not match any feeds. message if I perform the google query using the encodedURI version of the URL of my blog:
http://www.google.com/reader/directory/search?h...

Any hint for solving the problem? I played a bit removing the encodeURIComponent function from the script, but I couldn't manage to solve the problem...

Thanks in advance for your reply and thanks anyway for this nice greasemonkey script!

Beware of using your web browser! It downloads all the websites you visit and harvests your "stuffz"!

You've got to be kidding me. Just because it acts on every website doesn't mean it's bad. Isn't the giant red bar at the top of every page enough notification?

Beware the scripts that run on every web page you visit! They usually harvest your stuffz, or report every webpage you visit to a service such as google.

This one however appears to only sends queries it finds on every page you visit with links matching this search
link[@rel="alternate" and (contains(@type,"atom") or contains(@type,"rss"))]

I installed this script, but the author might want to add some comments on what web requests are being sent, and frequency.

And you the user should always glance over the code of a script from a person you don't trust.

Great job uvnc.
