This only works for Firefox and Opera (load it as a user script for Opera thus skipping step 1):
1. Install Greasemonkey and Stylish addons and restart Firefox.
2. Start installing the userscript and styles:
- make Google Reader blue again
- Google Reader - larger and serif plus wider
- Google Reader Prefetch More
- Google Reader Favicon ++
Now refresh Google Reader and behold the miracle: Google Reader is blue again, you have favicons on feeds, wider space for the articles and prefetch mode.
