Readability, a fantastic article de-clutter script

Found this thing yesterday and it's just amazing. Basically what it does is it allows you to add a bookmark to your browser that will strip out all the useless bits of a site and leave you with just an easy to read article. When you're on a page with an article just click the bookmark and it will show only the article content.

It has really good accuracy with sites that have a clear area for content, also it's not designed for things like front pages etc. so it will fail on them.

An example for The New York Times:

Before:

After:

I also made a GreaseMonkey script for Firefox that binds the script to Ctrl + q for people who would find a keyboard shortcut faster.

Fantastic find. Seeing that much of a difference on the NYTimes which I use everyday is great.
