It offers an impressive list of features and options and is generally considered to be one of the best RSS feed readers available. One prime advantage over desktop clients is that the update process does not use resources of the local computer system. The Firefox add-on gReactions adds another interesting feature to Google Reader which should be interesting for a lot of Google Reader users who browse the web with the Firefox web browser.

The Firefox extension adds a new link to the article view toolbar. The new entry is called Show Comments and available on the right end of the toolbar. A click on the link will automatically fetch all comments from the website and Twitter and display the entries below the actual news article.

This is an interesting option for users who do not want to open articles in a new tab. Comments are usually the only element that are not displayed for full feeds. It might be less useful if a partial feed is provided by the website in question.

The Firefox add-on gReactions is available for all Firefox releases except the 3.5x release branch. It is however possible to force compatible with an add-on like the Nightly Tester Tools.
