There have been some intriguing developments over the past little while, which remain to be absorbed. Via Ben Hammersley, I find a9 OpenSearch, and via that argument at Sam‘s, Mark brings Greasemonkey to my attention. Greasemonkey in particular could be quite useful when one is not able to patch the web directly.
I’m looking at this greasy monkey, and the first obvious question is “how do I add these user scripts so that I can use them?” Meanwhile, I especially like the discussion surrounding its antecedent.
