Hat tip1 to John
Battelle for pointing out Greasemonkey, a Firefox plugin that
allows you to run Javascript scripts on arbitrary sites to improve their
appearance or usability.
The one script I find most immediately useful is one that fixes some
deficiencies of Allmusic. Allmusic
is a fantastically useful site, but since it's redesign, it has the annoying
trait that every biography is truncated and ends with a Read More link. The
script replaces those links with Javascript links that pull in the full
biography using XMLHttpRequest.
It is remarkably fast considering how sluggish the site often is in general.
1. John must get a lot of hat tips considering he has the number two result on
google for hat tip
on a page
for which the term only appears in links to it.
