You all must have read my previous Greasemonkey Script post . So now its time i bring on some of the "Google Friendly " Greasemonkey Sripts to make your internet experience a trillion times better !

Note : For this thing to work you must have Firefox and Greasemonkey Script ( download the laste June 9,200 script) .

I dedicate this post to Google Greasemonkey Developers :)

So here goes the post :

  • Gmail Addons : Addon any functionality to the gmail interface. The script comes with Calendar and Chat. (This script replaces 'Enhance Gmail')
Now lets see what this script can do :

Complete integration with Google Calendar and Google Chat (a nicer flash based interface). You can also any other addon quite easily. This script works with the new version of Gmail.

Calendar Integration

For better calendar integration please check out my other script Enhance Google Calendar - it cleans up Google Calendar and makes it more suitable for the gmail view.

Compatible Gmail Addons

This script also includes : Gmail Beautifier, Enhance Google Calendar, Gmail Macros (new), Folders4Gmail, Gmail Redesigned Style (

Click on the download button to go to the original page and then click on Install Script and it will automatically get installed :)

  • Better Tube 5.19.1 : This script auto-embeds the video file, enlarges it, and provides a link to download the video. supports 57 websites (incl. embed-disabled youtube videos). It includes auto-checks for updates to the script weekly !
Here are some awesome features too :

  1. video size is set to 80% of screen resolution by default, but can be changed in the SCRIPT CONFIGURATION section.
  2. Remember to wait for website to load completely, then it should change to the enlarged video.
  3. (FEATURE TEMPORARILY DISABLED) autoplay is turned off by default, but can be toggled on/off through greasemonkey menu command
  4. sites have direct download links, link to keepvid, or link to clipnabber, depending on whether or not they're available ( dont do that though :=(

  • Youtube Lyrics : This was the GM script i was looking for all through out the week and yeah i finally found it . Its kinda VERY useful , because a youtube freak like me loves lyrics with the video :=) Cheer up Music lovers !
Youtube lyrics does the following : It adds a lyrics box to the YouTube sidebar under the video information box. It can search in nine different lyrics sites and it shows also all the results in a drop down.

  • IGoogle Change Layout : As its name suggests , it surely doesnt do much but yeah u can change the layout and yeah it was very essential for aperson like me who hated those layouts :( . So what does it that it Changes iGoogle containers layout. You can add to the tab drop down menu three icons with the possibles containers layout. Plus you get a black background ;)

  • Customize Google : This script completely customizes the classic Google homepage. Accordigng to the developer : You must fill in the first 3 lines of the script with the specified information for the script to work. See comments for complete details. It replaces every place on Google that says Google with your name. Also it replaces the "I'm feeling lucky" text, the G in the Gmail link to your first initial, and a few other things. I will update this script whenever the layout changes on Google, so check back regularly.
This is one gem of a Script and dont dare to miss this one ;)

  • Google Skin : Yes this can definitely pimp your Google Search like anything ! I just love its 3D effect and yeah i cant use Google Search without this Addon . This also includes tons of modified features and icons !

  • Blogger Advanced Comment Editor : If there is any blogger who uses firefox out here ..then there is NO REASON why you shouldnt have this ! The only excepption is that you dont comment in any of the blog :=( . Idioticity aside , This proved to be very useful to me as i am a Google Blogger user and i love to comment in many of the blogs so what more whati can do is that you can make your comments in BOLD , Italic , Underlined and by far the best you can add a LINK to it , this can surely suprise

  • Google Old Favicon : Is it just me or is it you too who hastes the new favicon ? If you too hate it then WE BOTH SHOULD JUST DUMP IT ! There is a way to do it ! ha ha , those developers dont lack creativity

  • Gtalk inside the New Orkut : Well this is tested and it works very well , I feel its one hell of a brilliant script , Who doesnt wanna Gtalk while Social Networking ? ( did i say someone raise his/her voice ? :-| ) . Well from my personal experiences there is a confusion you could face . Actually when you install this go to the Orkut homepage and click on HymnZ ( Gtalk is hidden inside ) . Just login and Start chatting !

  • Google Search Ultimate Makeover : Yes , its the last Script ( C,mon guys i do get tired after all :=( But hey There is a saying " Leave the best for the Last " , so here i am following that !
