A much cleaner, ad-free version of the fantastic site that is Lifehacker. (updated to version 1.4.2 on 09/23/08 after site comment changes)
It scales the content, including comments, with the window (yay widescreens!). It looks great at 130% using add-on NoSquint, IMHO. If you have issues or suggestions, please leave feedback so I know what is or is not working for you!
Features
* Ads and other distractions (e.g. hatted woman graphic, au flag, etc) removed
* Better horizontal scaling for higher resolutions and widescreen monitors
* Sidebar cleaned up, link to home page added
* Removed "Read More" links below bylines and other marketing cruft
(Called "Clean Lifehacker II" in the spirit of Clean Lifehacker by Raz, which broke when the site updated in November 2006.)
@skittleys: The ghost tags should be working as of version 1.3.4. If they're not working for you, and your version is up to date, please let me know.
@shawn.hertel: unfortunately, no—lifehacker must have removed from the html the prev/next at the bottom of the page. it is possible to move it from the top to the bottom (modify the style css code), but then it wouldn't be at the top... Maybe you could implore LH staff to restore it? Alternatively, you could prob inject it using a Greasemonkey script if you really wanted.
@EdgarAllenHoopoe: added per your request! ;)

Is there a way to add the "Next Page" button to the bottom as well as the top, or at least move it? I love how this looks, but I don't like how I have to scroll all the way up again to get to the next page.
Other than that little thing, A+ script!

Much prettier and readable...
Unfortunately, it disables the"ghostTags" feature!
Hmmm...I've now noticed that the current version, 1.3.4, claims to have addressed this, so it is obviously a known issue and a work in progress. That made me much happier! :) So I removed my nastier comment and gave it another star...
For anyone who never looks at those tags anyway, this should be rated 5 stars for you! To me, it eliminates an essential function, which knocks off 3 stars...

I love this style - the perfect way to open articles from the RSS feed, when you need only the article, and not the "site".

I really love what the style does to Lifehacker now and can't stand to look at the page without, but is there a way to bring back the "next" button at the bottom of the main page? Sometimes it's a few days before I come back to the site and I want to go "back in time" to see the various posts I've missed. Thanks.

Very nice. An excellent balance between cleanliness, color, and space. Lifehacker, more alive than ever!
EDIT : I confirm more than ever bis repetitam :)

I love it, but is there any way you can include a link to the homepage?
