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

Never could get it working. Might try again after the nightlys are where you can install extensions again. I can't right now.

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.

    • WIFI7 Router Recommendation

      By gowtham07 · Posted

      Hey! What a difference it makes to upgrade from an old WiFi 5 router to a new one. The Asus BE88U and BE92U are both very top picks. Asus gives you more control and better firmware support than most. Netgear’s new stuff is decent, but locked down. If you need more than 4 wired ports, I’d suggest a separate 2.5G or 10G switch. It makes life easier. Synology’s UI is clean too, but they don’t have a WiFi 7 router yet. If the price isn’t a big deal, go with Asus and pair it with a switch. Let us know what you think!  
    • Microsoft explains how Xbox Ally runs a lightweight bloat-free Windows 11

      By MulletMan69 · Posted

      Honestly, I think the long-term play here is for Microsoft to ditch the idea of a traditional console entirely and just turn Xbox into a full-on operating system. They (or anyone!) could release hardware like a Mac Mini or a typical console with built-in GPU and RAM, but instead of being locked into a console ecosystem, they run the Xbox OS. It makes total sense because it pushes Game Pass, Windows, and all their other software. The handheld angle is really interesting too. You’d basically have a portable PC. Hook up a keyboard and mouse, and suddenly you can edit videos or get some real work done while on the go. Something like a prebuilt Xbox PC would be more than just a gaming box. It could be a decent little PC that people might actually upgrade with each generation. And since it’s running a PC-based OS, you’d get all the usual perks like mod support, cheaper games across different stores, and no extra charges just to plug in a webcam or other standard accessories. Plus, if they let you install the OS on your own rig, then you’ve got full upgradability too. Best bit also being Microsoft wont even need to build them anyone can and when they do Microsoft just wins. The competition is kind of stuffed. Those maybe relying on SteamOS might be ok but will still have software support issues and no Game Pass. Sony and Nintendo can’t really offer the same kind of flexibility at all not sure how they will live on. They’d struggle to match something that works as a desktop OS, console, handheld, streaming box, and media hub, all with your game library ready to go, never needing to rebuy games. Console exclusives are the only way they can live I think, but if they ever get blocked by antitrust rulings down the line, it’s game over. I'm waiting to see the bloat that's still left on these and if they let you install on a regular old PC. Fingers crossed this could be the lightweight OS we have been asking for.

      I take my Apple Watch off at night and put it on the charger when I go to bed. Then I wake up the next morning I put it back on.

      I don’t get what an ai device like a pendant does for me. As a man, I’m not wearing pendant. Then there is battery life. Battery life on my Apple Watch is horribly embarrassing. Having to charge every 36 hours is horribly inconvenient. Fitbits that hold a charge for 5-7 days are much better, so the pendant would need that level of charge. Voice is actually jarring for me. I find it inconvenient when people talk into their phones and I overhear their request. Speaker phones are fine in a closed office but not when others are around. If the device is screen less, it must either respond vocally or respond via the screen on my phone. if this another health device, does the marketplace need another?
