Hi folks, been playing around with Greasemonkey a bit, and I have to admit that it is quite good fun!!! Greasemonkey is “a Firefox extension which lets you to add bits of DHTML (”user scripts”) to any web page to change its behavior. In much the same way that user CSS lets you take control of a web page’s style, user scripts let you easily control any aspect of a web page’s design or interaction” (From mozdev.org)

So far I have found the best ones to be scripts for removing those annoying adverts from my hotmail account (at last, I’m free!!!) and one for allowing me to automatically subscribe to RSS feeds through Newsgator.

I couldn’t help but notice, however, that some of the scripts allow users to check the availability of books on Amazon.com in their local library. How useful is that? At present, the scripts are all for American libraries, but this is something that could be fairly easily adapted to be of use to people in the UK (well, i think so anyways… just don’t ask me to write it!). Wonder what Amazon thinks of it all…
