Never have to open an image link again

shiftingpixel.com — Greasemonkey script for checking out images, with an ajax-esque overlay that makes it unecessary to open it up in a new window. Very cool

  • systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13This_is_brilliant. I just installed it and I'm loving every minute of it. Totally worth the digg.
    • frontpage, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2For the love of that man who was nailed up years and years ago, I am sick and tired of these retards with the 007google links.
  • jgee, on 10/12/2007, -14/+7I'm a little confused, I have it installed with greasemonkey, but I'm not getting anything....
    • lencioni, on 06/19/2008, -1/+14After you install the script, do a google image search and click on one of the results. It should load on top of the page instead of merely following the link.

      It should also work well with Yahoo Image Search and Flickr when you click on one of the thumbnails. Another site that works well is toothpaste for dinner. Just click on one of the links in the middle of the page and it should open the image in a lightbox.
    • michaelphipps, on 10/12/2007, -20/+2this comment removed..
  • DevilsEnigma, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4This is really good!
    • Drood, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6It is. Definitely very cool. Did a search for "sex" on Google Image Search. (It was the first word that came to mind:)) Works great. Same on Flickr. I might actually be able to stomach visiting that site now.
  • jgee, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Thanks....very useful
  • nowell, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14This saved my life. Literally. Or maybe figuratively. Either way, it made my day!
  • Schrade, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This thing ROCKS! Great for when you have just a directory full of pictures and want to view them all quickly.
  • 5m0k3, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Very sweet
  • Empyrean, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Oh man, pure genius!!
  • bobjina, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3nice
  • bunkka, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2cool
  • Memx, on 10/12/2007, -14/+7Sounds sweet enough, but isnt GreaseMonkey got some problems with some security issues in firefox?

  • Memx, on 10/12/2007, -17/+3gatta get used to the new digg comment system :)
  • Chort, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Ok... so this OWNS!
  • Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8this works with opera as well....as long as you have the greasemonkey compatability script to allow you to use scripts from userscripts.org. you can get it at http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/aa-gm-functions

    also in opera you have to set a jscript folder in your opera directory and place the scripts you download there...in opera preferences set the javascript to look in that folder and your set.
    • crimsonalucard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3strange. It doesn't work for me. I got the Youtube script working but this one doesn't for some strange reason. Can anybody else confirm it to work in opera?
  • toran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I wish it had more compatibility, namely with Deviantart
    Great script, though.
    • BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah, I wish it did have more compatibility with other sites such as deviantART, subVariance, etc., but great script nonetheless.

    • mirrorkills, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there are some extensions available for use with dA. note me on dA (same name as here) and i'll pass some links your way.
    • Legato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2when i was a subscriber to da they had this feature built into the site
    • lencioni, on 06/19/2008, -0/+6You want deviantART and subVariance? You got deviantART and subVariance. I just released v0.05 which adds support. Cheers!
  • crom99, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Ajax-esque? No.

    Great script, though. Digg+
  • ultraelite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1definitly nice on google images to see the pictures at full resolution with one click
  • Agent_M, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4One of the most interesting extensions I've tried, for sure.
  • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1YES!! the only greasemonkey script ive ever wanted to install!
  • brandonhines, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Honestly...you still have to wait for it to load. I don't really see the advatage here. It's cool, don't get me wrong, but does it improve browsing? Not really. Most stuff like that is thumbnails and you want to see the *full* image anyway.
  • devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Great script! I love it!
  • cfazzini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It'd be sweet if there was arrows on the image window for scrolling through images....
    • PERTU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can use the right arrow on the keyboard.
    • cfazzini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I know, but I'm lazy! :P

      I use my right hand for arrow keys, and the mouse. If there was clickable arrows, then hand would never have to leave the mouse.

      Just a suggestion...
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2bad suggestion. using arrow keys are much better than using mouse.
    • DarthTurducken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Use your other hand - it's not doing anything.


      Unless you're looking at pr0n
  • Darq1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Awesome, simply awesome. It may not speed things up, but it does make browsing just a little bit more enjoyable.
  • glitch1501, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i was planning on using lightbox on my site...but i was lazy, at least i know how it will look if i ever wanted to use it
    • smoothoperatah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1lightbox takes a whole 3 seconds to implement.
      no ones that lazy.
  • CanuckMakem, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Out-friggin-standing. This is an awesome script... thanks for posting.
  • Lordrust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2very very cool is there a way to quickly turn this off ? and just go to the image if i want to?
    • systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sure, easy: just right click the image and select to open it in a new tab/window, or click with your middle mouse button. =)
    • iamagrenade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5if you're using firefox, just click the lil monkey icon in the lower right corner, on the statusbar. the monkey will be saddened by this, but the script will not run. :)
    • Lordrust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1weird, when i click the monkey to turn it off,and click on a link, it still comes on (even when i disable it)
  • Saintlink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This thing rocks, totally worth the digg. Make sure people see this folks, digg it to the top! One of the best extentiosn in a long time. :)
  • tyme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14you hear that? that's the sound of 15 year old pr0n surfers everywhere rejoicing...
  • andrethegiant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2anyone else having troubles installing creammonkey for safari? i followed the instructions exactly but i still don't get the :) in the menu bar...
    • Simulacrotron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah, me too
    • andrethegiant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For people that are having problems installing creammonkey: download version .3, install it in InputManagers, then download .4, and replace the 0.4 .bundle file with the 0.3 .bundle file in Input Managers. That worked for me, now I have the :) in the menubar. However, the js does not work :-(.
  • antihexe, on 10/12/2007, -31/+5My dorky ex-roomate Pierre
    Once fell asleep in my chair
    I pulled out my unit
    Proceeded to tune it
    And fire my load in his hair
    • dlichteman, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1I cant decide whether to upvote or downvote this one......cause it is funny but off topic


      ....downvoteed
    • iamagrenade, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2you attempted to bring variety to a comments section otherwise populated by "i like it", "i don't like it", "it doesn't work", and/or "this was posted MONTHS ago".

      upvoted.
  • detrux, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0This doesnt seem to work for me.. any known compatability issues with other gm scripts?
  • jpesicka2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this with video would be even better
  • thegsa, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Great Script
    Digg++
  • relinquish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Very well worth the digg. Thank you, writer of this, and many other greasemonkey/stylish scripts.
  • yoops, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Nope doesn't work for me. The damn monkey is smiling. Anybody know if this isn't mac friendly?
    • Keithrl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'm using it on a Mac no problem and I submitted the story!
    • netwookiee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't get this to work on the OS X 10.3.9 Safari using Creammonkey 0.4. I got creammonkey installed and the script is installed, but it don't work. I am curious if it is working for the Mac users running Tiger and not for anyone running Panther.
  • V3suvius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thank you, very nice. Digg
  • Hohenheim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3needs a hotkey+click option...i find it annoying while using flickr's photostream icons
  • evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nice! I've been wanting something like this.

    +Digg
  • zweben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It didn't work for me. I'm a bit confused by the installation instructions for Creammonkey. They say drag the folder to inputmanagers. All it has is a bundle, not a folder. Something tells me the installation process changed but the instructions didn't.
    • Undefined, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I just downloaded an earlier version and it has the creammonkey folder in it. I was able to install creammonkey fine with that one. but the script doesn't seem to work for me using safari and creammonkey. I got it working with firefox on my mac though. have you had any luck?
  • lynnseck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Very nice!! Great work along with Greasemonkey. 2thumbs up! I digg it.
  • bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Could this day get any better or what? Thanking the Gods on high for this most wonderful yet low-calorie computer snack. Rock on, Bro.

    Diggity done.
  • cheese06, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11WoW this is a fast efficient way to view porn. Digg
  • xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is there an extension that saves all the pictures you see? and this script is really cool.
  • punkguitarist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think i'll be checking this out. Seems very convenient. The only concern is I have quite a few extensions already in firefox, and i know they can eat up memory. Although its not like i dont have some to spare.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2extensions use a tiny amount of memory.. that's not something you should worry about..
    • odysseus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's not really memory that's a problem, it's CPU usage. Every extension you add makes the browser start and run a little bit slower. For example, turn off ForecastFox & WebDeveloper and compare startup times. Or start in safe-mode and compare startup times. Firefox is already one of the slowest starting browsers on the web ( ref: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html#winspeed )

      I love Firefox, just wish Darin and Ben and Mike et al. would make it not hit the CPU so hard.
  • DuNzTaR, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Very nice.
  • nox327, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It works with myspace too, not as good because the ad banner is the way but still cool
  • nazuraki, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This will be great for por...err...important business research...
  • chemicalsno, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1wow, that's pretty awesome
  • GerryDaman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Download link problems? It won't work for me . ANyone else?
  • automagically, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That Huddle Together Lightbox script is sure making it's rounds!
