For those using Firefox instead of Chrome, here's a Greasemonkey version of @Kos extension:
// ==UserScript==
// @name SO Hide Questions
// @namespace http://stackoverflow.com/
// @include http://stackoverflow.com/
// @version 1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = "[CSS style from @Kos answer]"
head.appendChild(style);
[content of $(document).ready(function() from @Kos answer]
})();
Disclaimer: I am new to both Greasemonkey and JavaScript, but the above seems to work. If not, please comment.
