i'm subscribed to digg rss in google reader but clicking on popular articles loads the digg page of comments which kills my firefox until it finishes loading

i want to bypass the comments page and go straight to the article.

i found this: http://pascal.vanhecke.info/2006/03/15/direct-link-versions-of-digg-feeds/

but i don't know how he did it. i wanted to see if i could do the same thing but have it update more frequently than he has it (i think he does it every hour).

any ideas?

I definitely dont have the expertise to do this but wouldnt a greasemonkey script be able to accomplish this?

i thought about that but greasemonkey scripts run on a page after the page has loaded and that's where the problem lies - these long comment pages and horrible comment hiding system with javascript they have suck

i've disabled all my unnecessary extensions and it still locks the browser up when it's loading some really long pages

1) download a different java engine (sun.java.com).
2) Reinstall your browser. Maybe it's has some messed up libraries. (I have no idea here).

You might be able to do something like this using the news Yahoo! pipes tool (http://pipes.yahoo.com). I haven't played around with it enough to be sure, but it's got some pretty neat features for tearing apart different feeds and creating a new one based on your criteria.

i'm not great at yahoo pipes or anything - i tried to mess around with it but couldn't figure out how to get it to do this - i don't think it's a built-in feature to go to the website the RSS entry is referring to, extract the URL being pointed to and bring that back

if only the digg RSS feed had a tag in the entry that had the original URL, it would probably be easy. but the only way i see how to do it is have a PHP script parse the RSS feed for the URLs, then go to those URLs and find the URL of the original story and return that to the PHP script to re-create an RSS feed using all the original elements but just replacing the URL field with this new info. i just don't know how to parse pages and files for the right URLs in PHP
