Okay, I have raved about Greasemonkey before. It is an extension for Firefox which allows you to load scripts into your browser that can alter how web pages look and behave. The main reasons for this are to either fix a site that doesn’t work well or look good, or to provide extra functionality to a site.
Anyway, I have to reinstall firefox on my main machine, and do another install on my laptop in linux, so it seemed like a good time to list out my favourite scripts:
- A pretty redesign for del.icio.us
- Adds tags to Blogger for Technorati and del.icio.us
- Allows you to clip stories on Bloglines to del.icio.us
- Shows a Google map when it detects an address on a web page>
- Turns plain text links into proper hyperlinks
- Shows the entries on Technorati that link to your current page

Hi paolo
I have seen bookburro before, and it is a fantastic script, but the only problem for me is that it is US based. What I could do with is a UK version. I suspect the best thing to do rather than complain about it, is to see if I can do it myself. Should give me something to do this weekend 🙂
