You could also just put the channel URL into your RSS/Atom reader and it might convert it automatically.

Maybe you can make use of its userContent.css support (http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserContent.css). I use it to force word wrap on pre blocks.

There's no need for extensions or userscript for this with Firefox. In ~/.mozilla/firefox//chrome/userContent.css:

  @-moz-document domain("news.ycombinator.com") {
      .hnuser { font-size: 20px }
  }

You'll have to restart Firefox for it to come into effect.
