Wanted to add:
- Noscript but I buggered up the voting thingie and
- Chatzilla Easy-to use IRC extention.--Bobbing up 06:21, 27 February 2009 (EST)
- Do we even need a voting thing? We can discuss pros and cons here surely? Totnesmartin 07:34, 27 February 2009 (EST)
- Tot's right, voting really tells a potential user nothing - what would be more useful is actual talk of pros and cons. ħuman

- Yes, I'd rather have the cons spelled out eg "sometimes crashes" or "it makes stupid noises that you can't turn off" etc. Shall I remove the arrows? (even though I really really really want to vote on that lump hammer in IE...) Totnesmartin 05:43, 28 February 2009 (EST)
- In some cases it might be nice to have some screenshots, too. ħuman 14:30, 28 February 2009 (EST)

- It's a firefox extension that allows you to run scripts with every page you load. It's like hacking a wiki with scripts in monobook.js, except you can do it to any website. -- Nx talk 06:12, 28 February 2009 (EST)
- Thanks, I think. and marmite 06:25, 28 February 2009 (EST)
- Permit me to elaborate. GM is an extension that allows you to modify how specific websites are shown (like Nx said, similar to wiki scripts). For instance, you can install a GM script that adds a "Download this video" link to YouTube, alter how Google displays its results, or to block ads on a certain site. Think of it as an extension that runs lots of other little extensions. Wikipedia has an article that explains the technical aspects of GM. -Redbackon the toilet seat 07:23, 28 February 2009 (EST)
