Giving in to GreaseMonkey
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of the GreaseMonkey Firefox extension, but never thought it would be of any practical use to me; perhaps because the description sounded dull and unappealing: Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript. …
But I just installed it for a couple of days and came across three scripts enough for me to swear my loyalty to GreaseMonkey.
Helvetireader
This one is “A minimal interface theme for Google Reader”, changing the dull Google default to sheer sleekness: Helvetireader.

Nested Twitter Replies
Pretty much a ‘must’ for all Twitter users out there. It automatically retrieves and displays nested replies. “The script recursively follows the “in reply to [user]” and gets the entire conversation thread.” From pratham.name.
Nested Twitter Replies for much better Twitter interactions!
Well now you also know about my e-penis and can check your own.
Greased Lightbox
“A user script that enhances browsing on websites that link to images such as Google Image Search, Flickr, Wikipedia, MySpace, deviantART, FFFFOUND!, and Blogger/Blogspot blogs.” (It has activated in more places than I expected.) It’s easy to browse a gallery of images with the arrow buttons, and an activate-able slideshow option. From Shifting Pixel.
Greased Lightbox for pretty image viewing.
