Every website or blog has multiple categories of interests that may not always interest or useful for you but as you are subscribed to the site RSS or Atom feed, all those posts keep taking the space and attention of you, which is really a waste of time. That also hides the really important posts sometimes and then things get worse if you have too many subscriptions.

If you are using Firefox, you need to install Greasemonkey Script manager to install this script. If you are using Google Chrome or Opera, those have native support for all user scripts
