20MustSee vs. Best GreaseMonkey Scripts

20 Must See Scripts from http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/20-must-see-greasemonkey-addonsno-technical-knowledge-req/


1. GoogleTagCloudMaker - generates tagcloud from Google search results and inserts it above sponsored links. Great for filtering and finding related keywords

(click to enlarge and open it in a new window)

2. Disable Text Ads - removes annoying inline contextual text ads from 3 major distributors: VibrantMedia(IntelliTXT), Kontera and Linkworth

3. RSS+Atom Feed Subscribe Button Generator - don’t bother looking for RSS subscription links again. This greasemonkey addon automatically finds RSS and Atom subscription links on a webpage and inserts feed subscription buttons() to the top left corner of the page. See screenshot from del.icio.us below

4. Textarea Backup - never retype lost emails, forum posts, feedback forms, blog comments, etc again. This addon automatically saves entered text after every 10 keystrokes so if the page is reloaded for whatever reason, be it browser crash or unintended exit, the text will be restored.

5. LookItUp - lets you highlight anyword and quickly look it up on wikipedia, a dictionary or whatever info database you like without leaving the page you’re on. The result is displayed directly on the webpage and can be instantly removed with a mouse click. Which dictionary is selected depends on customizable keystrokes. View demo screenshot(opens in a new window)

6. Linkify ting - converts plain text links into real clickable links so you don’t have to manually copy and launch them in a separate window. Examples;

7. Google MP3 - handy music player Greasemonkey script that inserts a play button next to any MP3 file you happen to stumble upon while browsing web so you can listen before you download.

VIDEO and TRAILERS:

8. Apple Trailer Download - lets you easily download full movie trailers from apple.com. Once you’re on a trailer page it adds a tiny menu(screenshot below), where you can select preferred resolution and download it using ‘right-click -> Save Link as’ combination.

9. Download Video - awesome Greasemonkey addon that lets you download video clips from YouTube, Google Video, Myspace, Metacafe, Break.com, Putfile, Dailymotion and Sevenload. The script shows a small download menu at the top of supported video pages(image below). (You’ll need to save files in .flv format or change extension afterwards)

GMAIL Goodies:

10. Gmail Super Clean - clean and distraction-free gmail. Looks great, check it out here
11. Gmail + Reader Integrator - integrates Google Reader into Gmail. This literally saves you one extra tab. Highly Recommended

12. Gmail Spam-count Hide - hides spam count, since no one needs it anyways

SITE SPECIFIC (Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, IMDB, Digg, Last.fm, del.icio.us)

13. del.icio.us Prettifier - lets you change font and link colors on del.icio.us. This is the only listed plugin that requires basic html knowledge.

14. IMDB enlarge actor pictures on hover - enlarges actor pictures in IMDB cast lists when you hover your cursor over that table row. Demo

15. AdSlicer for MySpace - removes all myspace ads and blank spaces they leave behind

16. YouTube Googler - this handy addon makes YouTube video pages look more like Google Videos. It moves comments to the sidebar and expands the video frame to take up as much space as possible, exactly like on Google Video. Demo

17. Facebook Auto-Colorizer - gives each profile a unique look by colorizing page based on the user’s photo. Demo

18. Digg - Add Mirror - excellent addon for Digg users that inserts links to DuggMirror, Coral Cache, Google Cache and Archive.org below each story’s digg-count. So, if the story source is down you still can easily view its mirror page from one of the sources.

19. Last.fm Artist Fan Rank - adds your or the page owner’s fan rank to artist, track, album charts, and album track listings.

20. Instead of 20′th Addon I am including quick Greasemonkey installation guide:

  1. Install Greasemonkey from http://www.greasespot.net (firefox users only).
  2. Restart Firefox(at this stage you should see tiny monkey face at the right-bottom corner of the screen).
  3. Click on the any of the preferred addon links described in this post.
  4. Locate “Install” button that’s shown in the upper-right corner of the opened page.
  5. Done. Go and test it…

Best GreaseMonkey Scripts from Listable:
http://www.listible.com/list/best-greasemonkey-scripts
  • Greased Lightbox - Greased Lightbox is a Greasemonkey user script designed to enhance browsing on websites that link to images such as Google Image Search, Flickr, Gmail, and Facebook.
  • Greasemonkeying with Google Video and YouTube - I decided to dive into Greasemonkey and create a couple scripts to expose download links on Google Video and YouTube webpages
  • Dejalicious - Tells you whether the site you are on is already in your Delicious collection. Puts a little (+) or (-) in the title bar.
  • GoogleAutoPager - Add autoloading for next page to Google search result. DblClick to enable/disable it. Demo at http://la.ma.la/misc/demo/googleautopager.htm (Working in Trixie and captured by Wink)
  • Toggle Recent Comments in Flickr Photostream - It can show your recent photo comments without going to an inner page.
  • Google Suggest - Adds Google Suggest dropdown to normal Google searches
  • Duggmirror - "The Digg Effect is a cruel thing. Install this script and you'll see an automatic mirror link to the story in below the description, powered by DuggMirror. Broken links begone!"
  • Lightboxer - Makes links to images open in a lightbox in the same page. Holding the shift, control, option, and/or meta key makes the link act as usual.
  • GoogleX - MacOS X dock-like google home page.
  • GooFD - GooFD allows you to access related links from delicious, blog entries from Technorati, citations from CiteULike, photos from Flickr and audio from Odeo via Google’s searchpages and these service’s tag/search pages.
  • Flickrbox - This script uses the fantastic lightbox.js to enhance browsing on Flickr.
  • Flickr Rich Edit - Add limited rich editing capabilities (italic, bold, blockquote, link) to any input textarea in Flickr where you can use HTML.
  • Wikipedia animate - Animate the history of changes in a Wikipedia article. Provides a timeline slider, highlights changes. Very powerful.
  • del.icio.us Prettifier - A modified version of Gina Trapani’s del.icio.us Prettifier.
  • Smooth scroll - When clicking a link in a page that moves focus to another part of the same page, this script will make the page scroll, rather than just snap into view. This gives a somewhat better perception of how the in-page links have moved you in the document.
  • Diggholder - Mark the last article you read on Digg. I made it because I always forget where I stopped reading Digg…maybe someone else will find it useful too.
  • Currency Convertion - Convert any currencies on the sites you visit into your prefered currency. Great for Ebay and Amazon but works everywhere. Use Yahoo Finance to get the conversions, so it supports a great amount of different currencies.
  • Registry Cleaner - I would recommend cleaning your systems first and making them error-free, safe and clean from viruses. Get registry cleaner!
  • Popup Alt - Popup Alt
  • delicious_blank - Adds a target _blank to links so that they can open in a new tab
  • fav.icio.us2 - The fav.icio.us hack adds the favicon of a site next to it’s bookmark on del.icio.us.
