Upgrade Flickr with the Better Flickr Firefox extension

lifehacker.com — Everyone's favorite photo-sharing web application, Flickr, has had tons of ancillary applications and user scripts developed for it to tweak, mod and add to its functionality. Dozens of Greasemonkey user scripts have popped up that make Flickr better; so I've rolled a few of my favorites into a new Firefox extension called Better Flickr

  • Godlesswanderer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I've just realised that sounded slightly sarcastic. It wasn't by the way.
    Here's a link to the add referrer script if anyone wants it.

  • Godlesswanderer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Very nice collection, although it would have been nice to include the add referrer into comments script. I, personally, like to see where someone found my photos.
  • SamKellett, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I wrote a greasemonkey script to automatically add any Flickr photo you mark as a favourite to your Tumblr.

    You can see it here: http://pastie.caboo.se/66083
  • monstarmike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I don't know about ya'll, but I just don't see a large use for the camera image addin. It seems like I spend enough time avoiding advertisements that if I really wanted to know a little more about that camera crtl-c and crtl-v would be helpful in just popping it into Google for reviews.

    Also the buddy icon reply just doesn't seem to make that much of a large improvement to the service. If you cannot get the connection between the person above you and the the reply then is it really necessary?

    I do agree with Godlesswanderer in that the referer-into-comments script is nice.
  • revjustin2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3 While nice-to-have, these add-ons won't make or break my Flickr experience.


  • Proggie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Some of those scripts are one ot the main reasons why I use a mozilla based browser (Flock)
  • DarthNinja, on 01/29/2008, -0/+0Nice job LH
  • tjp1982, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Glad to see my css/js/dom magnifier script ( http://valid.tjp.hu/tjpzoom/ ) made it to digg frontpage - at least in part.
  • ptFoe, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1This is ***** what about IE7 & Opera users .

    Firefox Extension developers need to be locked up in Guantanamo Bay, with the other terrorists.

    Not I know why Mitt Romney wanted to double Guantanamo.
  • slapthemonkey, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Beautiful......I like it.

  • spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3The only upgrade Flickr needs is to lose the login requirement. I can view images freely on every other website in the world. Get over yourself, Yahoo. The idea is to lose the elitist stigma with Flickr, not substantiate it.
  • speedk0re, on 10/11/2007, -10/+1oooh my first "buried for duplicate".... i feel like i've reached a nerd milestone
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -15/+4"Everyone's favorite photo-sharing web application, Flickr"
