Greasemonkey Scripts thread.

[Anthro]

Greasemonkey is an add-on to the Firefox browser that allows you to customize the way a web page is displayed by using small bits of JavaScript code.
There are literally thousands of scripts that you can install to customize just about anything you can think of.
However, there are a few scripts that are quite useful and popular that you should consider using if you’re not already doing so!

I especially use the YouTube Googler one alot

7. IMDB Age – Adds information to an IMDB page such as the age of the actor or actress, their zodiac sign, and how long ago a film was made.

8. Gmail – Signature Float – Moves the signature in a new Gmail message to the top of the email rather than the bottom. Can also be used to enter HTML signatures.

9. Download YouTube Videos III – Adds a “Download Video” button and icon next to the currently playing video. Just rename the file to “.flv” with the quotes included.

10. Last.fm Recently Played – Inserts recently played information onto various pages around Last.fm, such as friends, neighbors, and recent visitors panels.

11. RS-Bundle – Rapidshare service helper which does many things like autoclicks the free button, allows the use of a download manager, removes extra stuff from the download page, ready to download alerts when you have to wait, and more.

12. Folders4Gmail – Organize your labels in Gmail in a folder-like collapsible hierarchy instead of flat labels.

13. J Instant Comment – Allows commenting on your friend’s entries without leaving the page or reloading the page. For LiveJournal users only.

14. Greased Lightbox – Enhances browsing of images via Google Image search, Flickr, Wikipedia, FaceBook, MySpace, and devianArt by enlarging images and allowing the use of keyboard arrow keys to browse though images quickly.

19. _blank Must Die – Removes the target of hyperlinks that open in a new browser window. Will open those pages in the active window.

20. Gmail Super Clean – Gives Gmail a new Web 2.0 interface or “skin” that looks much nicer.

21. Craigslist Image Preview – Let’s you preview and resize images while viewing listings on Craigslist instead of clicking on the listing.

It might be worth mentioning that Greasemonkey scripts work natively in Google Chrome

[Anthro]

Fluff Busting Purity (FBP) is a Greasemonkey Script developed for Facebook that gets rid of application notifications from applications like Mafia Wars and other oft-annoying Quiz messages, leaving your news feed populated with basic status updates, links, notes, pictures, and other standard updates.

Facebook isn't taking kindly to the disruption of its intended functions and has declared legal war on the script, citing terms of use violations. According to the scripts creators, Facebook's complaints were vague and misleading, giving very little information about the exact nature of the problem. After receiving the generalized Terms of Service Violation notice, FBP tried to communicate with Facebook to try and determine the actual violation, and received a message citing Section 5.6 of their Statement of Rights & Responsibilities, which reads:

"You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the Facebook and F logos, FB, Face, Poke, Wall, and 32665), or any confusingly similar marks, without our written permission."

The FBP Facebook page was deleted minutes after the email was sent, which FBP claims is an unreasonably short amount of time, and that they could have fixed the errors, if there were any, given some more notice.

Lawyers then contacted FBP with a demand from Facebook to hand over the domain facebookplus.org, which they claim FBP owns. FBP denies this accusation.

Facebook recently released new code that will disable this script from running, but the scripters at FBP have created a patch to circumvent this, as well as create a new, working fan page.

[DeathStrike]

Yeah good ol grease monkey. I found a script for it to allow me to follow a large amount of people on Twitter. Twitter didn't like this so I got banned. But there isn't anything against this is there ?

[DeathStrike]

They probably thought you are a spam bot.
