Better Grooveshark is a user script that works with Grooveshark's redesigned HTML5-based user interface, and enhances your Grooveshark experience in a few cool ways. First off, the ads are hidden. Those of you who know (and love) what an ad blocker is will see no benefit from this, but for the majority of those surfing the Internet these days, this may improve the look of the site and remove a ...

Greased Lightbox puts a nice lightbox interface around images found in Google Image Search (shown above), FFFFOUND, deviantART, Flickr, and a bunch of other sites. Once the userscript is installed, you only have to click on an image thumbnail. The larger image pops up in a slick lightbox, and you can use the left or right arrow keys for cycling through all images on the page. When I tested it, it ...

I've never been one to install Userscripts, but there is one that I almost always install: Facebook Purity. It's always been great at cleaning up the white noise generated by all the stupid social games my friends on Facebook seem to be so obsessed with. But it seems as though the Facebook police aren't too happy about how this script alters the content they display in your feed. First, they ...

YouTube Auto Buffer is a userscript that fixes a lot of the things that annoy me most about YouTube. It's a beefed up version of the barebones one Lee wrote about last December. Instead of autoplaying a couple seconds of video and having to stop and start because nothing's buffered, this script turns autoplay off and clips fully buffer before playing. I don't know about you, but I was doing ...

It seems like Gmail users are always hungry for new ways to tweak Gmail's appearance. One trick that will save some space in your sidebar is the Gmail Compactor script. If you have Greasemonkey or a similar userscript engine installed, just download Gmail Compactor to turn the text links in your sidebar into space-saving icons. The icons aren't the only space-saving feature of Gmail compactor, ...

Ugh - just as fast and hot as the love affair started, it is starting to fizzle. Facebook opened its doors to add-on apps, and while we just can't wait to be invited to become a zombie, pirate, or post on YAFW (yet another Facebook wall), enough is enough already. If you're feeling Facebook App Overload (we're thinking of copyrighting that term... no, not really), then you need the Facebook ...

Today's Download of the Day over at Lifehacker is a keeper. PageAddict is a an add-on for Firefox (also available as a Greasemonkey script) that watches your browsing behavior and makes a log of how much time you spend at each site. All of the information is stored on your computer, not transmitted anywhere, so your time-wasting secrets are kept between you and your browser (and, well, any snoops ...

Do Google's bright white background and big, colorful logo offend your more somber sensibilities? Google Dark might be the cure for what ails you. It's a Greasemonkey script that replaces the Google home page with a darker, and some might say a little more slick, version. In addition, it makes the logo a little smaller and gives it an updated look, and makes the fonts a big bigger. All very Web ...
