Useful User Scripts

[Lazybones]

We have talked about this before but I thought I would share some handy scripts I have been using the the GreaseMonkey extension for Firefox (most also work with Opera).

A link to all of my Favorite scripts can be found at http://userscripts.org/users/23737/favorites .

I have found the Videoembed scipt when combined with the Googole Reader scripts makes google reader a very powerfull RSS reader.

FindScripts
Find greasemonkey scripts related to the current site.

Videoembed
Automatically adds embedded videos after links to pages like: glumbert, metacafe, google, yahoo, photobucket, youtube, myspace...(and many others) so you can view the video without opening a new page.

Digg.com Mirrors
Adds SIX mirror links to any article on the pages of Digg.com from these great mirroring and caching sites: Coral Cache, DotCache, DuggBack, DuggMirror, Google Cache and The Wayback Machine.

Google Reader: Show Feed Favicons
Automatically decorates the Google Reader subscription list with icons corresponding to the website from which each feed originates. This replicates an effect currently available in other feed-readers such as Bloglines.

[Updated] Google Reader Preview Enhanced v1.07g
Adds a "Preview button" to Google Reader that allows you to view actual article in a frame. Clicking again on that button goes back to RSS view. Does work both in List view and expanded view.

Userscripts.org Rank by Popularity
When browsing scripts on userscripts.org it will change the icon on the left to show how popular a script is. Very useful for focusing on the best scripts.

If you are a developer like me you most likely use Firebug already, but if you don't here it is:

AND if you need a JavaScript debugger specifically for IE, there's always this:

Script Debugger for Windows NT 4.0 and Later
