Grease Monkey

I just started using Grease Monkey with Mozilla Firefox. Grease Monkey ends the debate for me. Until Google Chrome supports Grease Monkey (I don't know that Chrome does yet), I'm going to be using Firefox. Java Scripts and Grease Monkey are ultra useful. For example, I just installed a script that allows me to highlight any text, press a key for instance 'w' that automatically wikis the highlighted text or if I press 'g' the highlighted text is googled in a new tab. I had to modify the script a bit since the searches were in French. I even added my own search key to the script to translate any word I highlight in English to Spanish at wordreference.com.

Chrome vs. Firefox



I can't decide which browser I like more. The only reasons I liked Firefox over Chrome were for its Chatzilla, Delicious, Download Helper, and Open Book add ons. There are features I like about Chrome too: incognito window, integrated Open Book, and the ability to close down a specific tab via Task Manager (if say that specific tab is what's freezing your computer). However, sometimes I find that Chrome processes slower than Firefox. When I first got Chrome, I noticed trouble watching Youtube videos. For now, I suppose I'll be switching between browsers every now and then until I see that Chrome is faster, and I find out how to get Chatzilla and Download Helper features onto Chrome.

  • I don't need Delicious add on anymore now that I have Google Reader. I find Google Reader a far superior site sharing system. Especially now that they've installed the comment feature.
