GreaseMonkey Scripts (Firefox Extension)


Recommended Posts

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.

"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:

And just when I thought this couldn't get any cooler....

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.

    • Sounds creepy to say the least. Don't need nor want AI having access to my history. They're claiming it to be an "offline" model now, but how can we guarantee they don't go behind our backs and change that?
    • Exactly! Without those fundamentals you've mentioned, Democracy is literally just Demonstration of Crazy, nothing to be proud of in such system.
    • Still I see almost no ads in mobile Edge unlike Chrome. So their browser is much better at blocking ads than Chrome and it is a fact. It even blocks ads on YouTube and you can add simple custom block filters. Also, Edge still support manifest v2 on desktop, so I'll look for another browser when I start seeing ads again.
    • Considering they consistently release a new version every year, I think it makes perfect sense. There is a minor pain point at the time of the change, so as long as they only change it once, we get over it and end up in a better place. The issue with MS' naming scheme is that they change their mind so frequently. 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 10, there is no consistency. That was the issue, not the choice of naming the OS after the year. Minor correction: Windows 7 was 6.1. Even Windows 10 was version 6.4 at launch, but they retroactively changed it to 10.0 early on, along with an announcement that they would no longer track the kerel version and OS version separately...then proceeded to call Windows 11 version 10.0.2, so yeah, MS sucks at naming.
    • I don't think there is any problem with the two-digit number. Even if someone didn't understand the meaning, 26 > 18, so they will still understand at a glance that it is a newer version. The only downside I see is someone assuming 18 is a MUCH older than 26, but IMO, that confusion really isn't a big issue. The truth is that the majority of software companies use the 2-digit number; Microsoft is the outlier, and even they used 2-digit numbers in the past.
