Greasemonkey For Firefox Alter any page on the net to your liking...

Recommended Posts

I'll be honest with you from the start. I use this mainly on MySpace.com. With this extension, you can use JavaScript to alter any page anywhere! You can remove the ads off of specific websites, you can even customize the stylesheets if you know what you're doing!

If you've ever been on MySpace.com, you know the annoying home page with all the ads and announcements. Well I have made my own script to clean it up a bit to match my profile. Here is a screenshot of my MySpace's homepage: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I've added some new things since the time of that screenshot, but MySpace is down right now, so I can't take a new one.

But imagine, I did that to MySpace, imagine what more you could do!

It's too bad the screenshot is no longer available, at least I can no longer see it.

When I came across this subject 5 months ago I dismissed it immediately. Modifying a webpage only to my view wasn't something that is not on the top of my list when I surf the web.

Well, a lot has changed in 5 months and I am now constantly using the internet as part of my research and cross referencing bibliography tool. So to find out how can Greasemonkey can benefit my research I began to search and came across this author's little introduction. I have been using this author's Library script to track down books for my research.

As you can see, he used Greasemonkey with conjunction to the Library script to aid him on Amazon.com. This is something I do just about daily when I search for books. I wish I had known even few months earlier--it would have saved me ton of hours at the library :P
