- squenix1221, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15pretty cool, but if i take all of my scrips and put them into extensions, thats gonna slow firefox down a lot
- frontpage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Well, the DOM for a page isn't finished loading until the page is loaded. Scripts can't really work on the DOM until it's there. That's why you have to wait.
- nights0223, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why would you want the scripts as extensions? All it will do is slow firefox down. Is there something I'm missing?
- Legion303, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13And if you hate *****-gobbling blog whores, here's the actual link: http://www.letitblog.com/greasemonkey-compiler/
- AlN1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Greasemonkey is great.. Best thing since Firefox itself.. but note that this greasemonkey compiler does not work with Firefox versions > 1.0. Since most folks are at FF 1.5, we can't really use it.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6this is especially useful for those of us, like me, who only have 1 greasemonkey script, and would rather use the script as its own extension rather than a big greasemonkey extension and a script.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10I do hate *****-gobbling blog whores, thanks for the direct link.
- imdwalrus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So you can make it easier to share with others, maybe? Or how about use with Portable Firefox?
I'm sure that there's some reason beyond "We did this because we could." - Saintlink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm still not sure what the advantage of this is over the current method. Any guru care to shed some light as to why this might be better?
- NoMoreNicksLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Don't know why someone -1ed you, but I +1ed you myself. And yeh, I've known for months that it does not work with anything recent, you'd think that the idiot blogger or at least the person who submitted this would have caught on to that. Guess they've never actually used it, and were trying to just get a story on digg... lol.
- toveling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It is working well. All of the short-lived security concerns (there was a brief pre-1.5 period where all greasemonkey non-standard JS functions had to be disabled because of some serious security bugs in GM) have been qwelled. It's quite nice again.
- cbdgr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Can some please explain to me why grease monkey scrips run after the entire page has loaded? I don't want to see the crap for a few sec while the entire page loads. Why is there not at least an option to have grease monkey scripts run only after just the HTML has loaded. Rather than having it load images and stuff you may exclude via scripts it would only get what it needs and therefore be much faster. Anyone have any insight into this?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What do you think the effect is of all those Greasemonkey scripts running on every page you load?
Do they have the same overhead as the single Greasemonkey extension plus each of the scripts, or is it worse now as multiple extensions? - zouhair, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4As if FF needs some more memory leak
- usergentoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2best greasemonkey script is here http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2206
blocks out all the news you dont want to see on digg.com - firemaker103, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The best greasemoneky script is Blue-Frog Security for my gmail. The extensions version slowed down the load of my gmail by a LOT. Greasemonkey would have less memory usage because it uses the scripts on the exact page it is needed, not loaded into memory all the time.
- bruno1378, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2direct link
http://www.letitblog.com/greasemonkey-compiler/ - cbdgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks frontpage, that makes it a little clearer, just seems like there should be an easy way to parse the html through some grease monkey before it’s rendered. I know my firewall does this limited just to ad blocking and stuff; just wish there was some way to make grease monkey scripts more seamless like that.
- wes121593, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's easier. I'm not saying that I'm that dumb but some people I know wouldn't be able to load a greasemonkey script even if I showed them how.
- comrade693, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a really old link. A member of the Greasemonkey community rewrote it for the newer versions of Firefox. This new one is more Secure!
http://www.arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/script-compiler.php - phunnel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've been saying all along that greasemonkey is hardly anything but a firefox extension for extensions.
- phunnel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1there is, write your own ff extension
- altjason, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I foresee more mysterious memory leaks and many, many more complaints about firefox memory usage.
- Burns, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why bother when they work fine the way they are?
- pimpybra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Now, I've only done some very minimal work with Greasemonkey, but I've done a bunch with just javascript.
I know with Javascript, you can add an event to the onLoad (of something, I forget what)... I'd surmise you could do the same w/ greasemonkey? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I haven't touched greasemonkey since installing FF1.5.. Lemme know if it's working yet.
- bitches, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0I can't agree more with nightblahblahblah, I am not a fan of greasemonkey, yet. Nor any greasemonkey "addon" that does something "supercool".
- wannabetenor, on 10/12/2007, -27/+2I don't think anyone noticed.
