Greasemonkey

Apr 12, 2005

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows users to add DHTML capability to given web pages (I'm told there is also an Internet Explorer version). Inspired by Google's AutoLink feature the script basically gives users the capacity to change the content of web pages on the fly. User scripts do things like remove advertisements, change the page layout, log readers in, or provide information from other sites. The scripts can be found on the Greasemonkey user scripts page. There is a Greasemonkey blog (naturally). Discussion has turned to the malicious uses of Greasemonkey and Greasemonkey coding wars.
