Firefox Users Monkey With the Web

Quote:

In a modern twist on the hot rodders of old, Firefox users are pimping the web, one browser at a time.

They've added a delete button and permanent search folders to Gmail, made their browsers show only print pages of online news stories, reconfigured all the content on a popular music website and removed Reuters stories on the Michael Jackson story from online newsreader Bloglines.

I've never used the Greasemonkey extension but I'd be interested to know who has and what they thought of it.

Had a look at that and don't really understand what it does and hence what use it is.......... :dunce:

by itself, not a lot. it allows you to make customised scripts to mess around with web pages, for instance a simple one turns all web addresses it finds on a page into clickable links.
