Google keeps rolling out extensions for their Chrome Browser. I'd like to share one that converts many truncated feeds to display the full feed in your Google Reader. It doesn't work on all truncated feeds ( I'm not sure why ), but it does work on many of the feeds I subscribe to. I used Reuter's news feed as an example that does work.
I really don't enjoy, or subscribe to many sites that truncate their feeds, but make exceptions when the site has quality content and isn't likely to bombard me with pop-ups and highly intrusive or distracting ads when I navigate to their page.
The first image ( above ) shows how Reuters appears in Google Reader. The second image ( below ) shows how this same truncated feed is expanded in Google Reader to display more of the item. Notice the little orange icon just to the right of the title link? That icon indicates that this item can be expanded by pressing the 'z' button on your keyboard. It's that easy.
This extension is available at Google Chrome Extensions. It's free, and easy to download. There are comments on that page that express the feelings of others that have downloaded this extension. Some are not positive. I find that this extension works well in my version of Chrome ( 4.1.249.1045 ).
Let me know if you try this, and tell me how it works for you. Please include the version of your Chrome Browser in comments.
