Does anyone have any scripts for neowin or anyother useful scripts? If you don't know what GreaseMonkey is...

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension which lets you to add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web page to change its behavior. In much the same way that user CSS lets you take control of a web page's style, user scripts let you easily control any aspect of a web page's design or interaction.

You can do things like add a delete button in Gmail, Yahoo Launch in WMP, Remove any about.com results from Google results, Make sure Gmail uses secure connection everytime, Hotmail single window, plus hundreds of other scripts and anything else you can come up with using DHTML.

Well, I have it as an extension, but I rarely use Firefox.

I wonder how compatible userjs snipplets are with greasemonkey scripts though..

I though they don't use the same exact synthax, but I'm sure both could benefit from converting each others scripts.

I use it.

An almost official wiki-site is set up here with nearly every script that comes out.

I don't personally use any that interacts with Neowin, though. Mainly Gmail, flickr and then some other general ones.

"Give me back the web" has got a whole new meaning :p

Add notes to web page script.

http://forevergeek.com/open_source/greasem...and_webnote.php

"So I ran across this site a while back that let you create notes in your browser that could be saved, re-opened, even subscribed to via RSS.

Tony over at Ponderer.org has taken it a step further and combined it with Greasemonkey, the Firefox extension that lets you activate user scripts on just about any web site.

Using Greasemonkey, you can use the WebNote script to make notes on top of existing websites. This could be a great tool for designers who are reviewing concepts with a client or just want to make notes of something they see that they like. Check it out if you have a chance."

Opera 8 users should also have some GreaseMonkey support now:

More information about what compatibility you can expect, and how Opera is slightly different:

Platypus is a Firefox extension which lets you modify a Web page from your browser -- "What You See Is What You Get" -- and then save those changes as a Greasemonkey script so that they'll be repeated the next time you visit the page.

      There's absolutely nothing in the WINE license preventing this. Regardless if that sentiment is held by the developers of WINE, it likely doesn't concern the people making Proton nor does it prevent them from adding the support.
    • Microsoft is officially making the Xbox app on PC a universal launcher

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      Multiple competing launchers are unironically a gem on PC gaming—I'm not sure why people don't get that yet. Why replicate Apple's horrible control here? Multiple launchers = multiple stores → lower prices for multi-launcher games Every other con seems minute and irrelevant to a vibrant marketplace where you actually save money. The only real complaints I hear are multiple launchers idle as background tasks + people don't like opening multiple apps. For #1, maybe this OS-based launcher should do shutdown idle launchers like GOG. For #2, virtually all launchers let you create shortcuts. Voila, problem solved.
    • Xbox June Update brings unsynced save management, publisher browsing, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox June Update brings unsynced save management, publisher browsing, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe June has been a busy month for Microsoft, bringing major software upgrades across its product stack. It even announced new hardware for its Xbox lineup, finally entering the handheld gaming space. The company's roundup for this month's new features has now been published, and it's touting a great deal of changes. To start off on the PC side, the Xbox app on the platform now has a section to browse by publishers. The company says that this will let players easily discover more games made by their favorite developers and franchises. Copilot for Gaming also landed in beta form recently, letting users ask AI for help when a game gets too difficult. It's only available for iOS and Android for now, with ROG Xbox Ally support coming later this year. Another feature that will hit the Xbox Ally is the new universal launcher feature for the Xbox app on PC. Microsoft just kicked off Xbox Insider testing for this functionality earlier today. Get all the details here. Over on consoles, the ability to hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed are now available. Game Hubs also arrived as a fresh feature to easily display relevant information when selecting a game to play, offering data on player stats, achievements, friends currently playing, recent captures, available add-ons, events, and more. Double-tapping the play button will quick-launch the game instead. On both Xbox consoles and in the cloud, a new progress bar will now appear when a save has been left behind on a device in an offline state. "A new progress bar, device names, timestamps, and additional details are now displayed when you have previous game saves on another device in an unsynced state," says the company. Microsoft has also added mouse and keyboard controls as well as touch controls for more cloud games this month. These join the fresh additions that have landed on the 'Stream your own game' collection and the Retro Classics app. Check out the full lists on the announcement page here. On top of all this, Microsoft has also announced that Xbox will be at Gamescom this year. While no details have been announced yet, more announcements from Xbox Game Studios may happen at the major gaming event.
