You don't actually need Greasemonkey. These scripts are browser-agnostic, so if you use Chrome, you can just install this as a Chrome extension. If you don't use Chrome, you can install this on Firefox using Greasemonkey.

The chrome extension blocks the column to the left of the newsfeed for me, too. The tampermonkey script does not.

Currently, the Grease/Tampermonkey userscript and the Chrome extension driver script are separate entities. We're working to either make them one and the same OR be exclusively driver scripts, and the real work is done somewhere else.

If you want to make this a suggestion that we can track, open up a new issue ticket at https://github.com/yczeng/hackernews-newsfeed.

I suggested it and the issue was closed as "won't fix".
