Greasemonkey

It is easy to be stupid. For instance by not thinking of the simple things.

I can create a web page with html code people can see. People can create a web page with html for me to see.

The simple thing I never thought of is that I can filter what people send me. I can write code that does something to the html page I receive before it is being displayed on my monitor.

J-Walk enlightened me today: 'Greasemonkey could be the best thing to ever happen to the Web.'

He gives some links for learning more. And, a few hours later he came up with a 'useless' script. :)

I liked this quote:

"Greasemonkey is the new Excel: an inefficient way for end users to do anything. That's a compliment, BTW." - Mark Pilgrim

Ah, by the way. Greasemonkey is for Firefox browsers only. Which shouldn't be a problem, as it is the one I use (read: the best browser out there).

Yes, you guessed it. My mind is warming up its cylinders to come up with a problem the Greasemonkey may be a solution to. The wrong way around, I know, but what can you do?
