Greasemonkey is a useful extension for Firefox, however this week, I saw that Mitchell McKenna (@MitchellMckenna) mentioned that Chrome now installs Greasemonkey scripts. If you aren’t fully aware of the power of Greasemonkey take a look here (link here).
First off, the best place I’ve found to get GM scripts is userscripts.org, a (mostly) free and open-source community.
- YouTube Auto Buffer & Auto HD & Remove Ads (link here) – this delivers what it’s name promises.
- Gmail Unread Message Count in Favicon (link here) – I’ve used this for YEARS with Gina Trapani (@ginatrapani) ’s Better GMail FireFox extension too, however it works great in Chrome without Better GMail.
- PDF/PPT/TIF view in Google Docs (link here) – This is THE plugin I can’t live without for Windows; I use my laptop as a sidekick to my desktop and don’t want to mess it up with Adobe Reader and files on the hard disk. This script opens PDF links that you click on in Google Docs viewer.
