One of the first articles I wrote in my series of web design annoyances was a moan about Google Reader’s use of a Javascript alert to confirm whether you really want to mark all items as read. The nice folks on the developer team have fixed it!

Now, instead of the old Javascript alert, there is a nice HTML dialog and, best of all a checkbox to never see it again!

The “don’t ask me again” is accessible via the settings page too, so it will be consistent across your work and home PCs. Great stuff.

This was everything I asked for in my original rant - well done Google Reader team.
