In a blog like this, which always aims to find the best solutions to surf the internet to fully exploit the potential of the network, one can not speak of GreaseMonkey. Greasemonkey is an extension of the Mozilla Firefox browser which, also thanks to this plugin, becomes the most customizable browser and which makes browsing the web pages more exclusive, easier and more interactive (Active Browsing).
Greasemonkey allows you to use scripts, written in the javascript programming language, which can be used to add new content to normal web pages, improve their appearance, simplify operations, combine data with other pages and numerous other purposes.
Userscripts are developed by normal users to change, locally, the codes of the most popular web pages to implement many functions and tricks that make them more functional.
In another article, the best extensions, plugins and add-ons available for Firefox.
The most common Greasemonkey scripts can totally change the layout of a site with the addition of new menus, perform common operations automatically such as filling in fields, changing fonts, removing parts from the sites that are not of interest, whether they are paragraphs, images or advertisements.
We are therefore talking about even very profound changes on any site, be it Google, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and others.
Installing any GreaseMonkey user-script is very easy, just install the GreaseMonkey plugin for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome and finally choose the script from the official Greasyfork list to be installed with a simple click.
The scripts were, until recently, all collected on the Userscript.org site that has disappeared from circulation today.
This resulted in the disappearance of numerous scripts and, therefore, a radical decrease in the list.
If you know good ones and want to share them I would be really happy to be able to try new ones, whether they are revolutionary or simply nice.
1) Antiadware to block adware downloads from sites like Softonic and Cnet.
8) Greased Lightbox: this script makes browsing on image sites like Google Image Search, Flickr, Wikipedia, MySpace, deviantART easier and more immediate so that when you click on an image thumbnail, the real one, big one, appears in a lightbox, i.e. a box, a central pop-up, without changing the page.
11) Autopagerize helps Google search by preloading the next 10 results to show them below, without ever having to change the page.
14) Facebook Fixer to improve Facebook overall.
15) FaceBook Friends Checker checks at regular intervals the list of friends to notify who on FAcebook has eliminated us from friends .
18) Facebook Download Video to download videos from Facebook
For other Facebook scripts you can read the Facebook cheat page .
20) Download photos and albums from Facebook
Finally, the latest news is that the scripts also work on Google Chrome without the need for any additional plugins and can be installed as normal extensions.
