Instructions:

  • After installing the user script, a "Filter Settings" button appears on top right corner of Google Reader.
  • Settings window shows two text boxes. One for excludes and one for highlights
  • In each box you can write regexes separated by new lines
    Example:
    java ?script
    css
    ^free
    windows (mobile|media|server)
When opening a feed, excluded entries displayed with gray text, and highlighted ones displayed with a lime background. That will filter from your eyes what you'd rather :)

Attention!

This userscript only works with Google Reader's list view and not expanded view - switch to list view from the view tabs on the upper right.

Wishlist:

  • Filter keywords in a specific feed/category
