Some Useful Greasemonkey Scripts For Facebook

In this article i am sharing some very useful Greasemonkey user scripts for Facebook users. But before proceeding it is better to get bit of knowledge about greasemonkey.

Greasemonkey

Greasemonkey is a Mozilla Firefox extension that allows users to install scripts that make on-the-fly changes to HTML web page content on the DOMContentLoaded event, which happens immediately after it is loaded in the browser (also known as augmented browsing).


As Greasemonkey scripts are persistent, the changes made to the web pages are executed every time the page is opened, making them effectively permanent for the user running the script.

Greasemonkey can be used for adding new functions to web pages (for example, embedding price comparisons within shopping sites), fixing rendering bugs, combining data from multiple webpages, and numerous other purposes.

Equivalents for other browsers
Versions 8 and upwards of Opera also have user scripting functionality and are capable of running many Greasemonkey user scripts.

For Internet Explorer, similar functionality is offered by IE7Pro,[8] Sleipnir,[9], iMacros and Greasemonkey for IE.

As of February 2010[update], Chrome has limited "native support" for Greasemonkey scripts.They are internally converted to extensions, and are managed as such. Chrome ignores @exclude metadata within the scripts, so the scripts are executed for all domains/pages. On the other hand, Chromium honors the @include directives and executes the scripts only for the domains/pages specified. In Chrome, scripts that use Firefox-specific functionality will break, and several Greasemonkey features are unavailable.

On Safari (and other WebKit applications), there is a SIMBL-managed plug-in called GreaseKit. Since the release of Safari 5 there is an extension called NinjaKit that uses the new API interface. Fluid is a site-specific browser with integrated GreaseKit.
