About Greasemonkey and Internet Explorer Scripts

GreaseMonkey is a firefox addon that lets people change web pages by installing user scripts. Information about GreaseMonkey scripts, including downloading the addon and tutorial links, can be found at the GM official page or get the addon directly.

Once you have successfully installed GreaseMonkey you can start installing user scripts. There are plenty of scripts at http://userscripts.org/ but the ones I create are all listed on my GreaseMonkey Page.

This is all very well if you use firefox, but if you use Interne Explorer for any reason then there is an alternative. Admittedly it isn't up to the standard of GreaseMonkey but it does the job, just about. There is a plugin for Internet Explorer called IE7Pro, that can be downloaded directly at this link. The plugin has many features including a script engine that is very similar to the GreaseMonkey engine. Script management, as well as general options for IE Pro, can be found by using the control and F7 keys together.

A note about my scripts:
Some of my GreaseMonkey scripts may have bugs or quirks that have not been found yet. The Internet Explorer scripts are just ported from the GreasMonkey scripts so they also may have bugs in. If you find something wrong you can report it to me at contact@scutterman.com. Of course, if you have a more direct way of contacting me (e.g. if I have you on my messenger or Kingdom of Loathing friend list) feel free to use that instead.

That's just about everything for now, so I'll leave it there.
