Greasemonkey Hacks is an invaluable compendium 100 ingenious hacks
for power users who want to master Greasemonkey, the hot new
Firefox extension that allows you to write scripts that alter the
web pages you visit. With Greasemonkey, you can create scripts that
make a web site more usable, fix rendering bugs that site owners
can't be bothered to fix themselves, or add items to a web site's
menu bar. You can alter pages so they work better with technologies
that speak a web page out loud or convert it to Braille.
Greasemonkey gurus can even import, combine, and alter data from
different web sites to meet their own specific needs.
Greasemonkey has achieved a cult-like following in its short
lifespan, but its uses are just beginning to be explored. Let's say
you're shopping on an e-commerce site. You can create a script that
will automatically display competitive prices for that particular
product from other web sites. The possibilities are limited only by
your imagination and your Greasemonkey expertise. Greasemonkey
Hacks can't help you with the imagination part, but it can provide
the expert hacks-complete with the sample code-you need to turn
your brainstorms into reality.
More than just an essential collection of made-to-order
Greasemonkey solutions, Greasemonkey Hacks is crammed with sample
code, a Greasemonkey API reference, and a comprehensive list of
resources, to ensure that every resource you need is available
between its covers.
Some people are content to receive information from websites
passively; some people want to control it. If you are one of the
latter, Greasemonkey Hacks provides all the clever customizations
and cutting-edge tips and tools you need to take command of any web
page you view.
