A Fox, a Monkey, Grease and Fire...

Well, that would make a good joke, but I haven't heard much since I left you guys.

Anyways, This is about a very cool Firefox add-on called Greasemonkey. What makes it very cool is that it allows you to run JavaScript on any page, after is loaded.

With Greasemonkey, the possibilities are endless. And you can customize any site the way you want. There are many many scripts out there. One of my favorites is a Two Column Google Search Result Pane. This can be obtained here.

Greasemonkey comes installed with NOTHING. Until you get or write your own user scripts, you will see nothing has changed. You need to get some user scripts for the monkey to run them for you.

There is also an online free book about Greasemonkey here.

Give it a try if you use Firefox.

Thanks for bringing this Ayman. I installed it long time ago but never bothered to download or create any scripts.

I can imagine few possibilities with it. But you know what, I believe somebody has already done them so i'll justfuckinggoogleit.com
