I personally suggest that you first ensure that you are using the Mozilla Firefox web browser, which you can download after you click here. Then, you will need to download and install the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox, which can you download after you click here. Then you can visit Userscripts.org and look there for scripts that you would like to install. I understand that these scripts can possibly be used with other browsers, although I also understand that they work most reliably with the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox.

If you have any questions about these instructions, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions that you have about them. There are many useful Greasemonkey scripts available that you may like using. And for those who found this post interesting, and would like to know of more scripts that I’d recommend, you may click here for a list of scripts I recommend to users of Gmail.

I would like to once again greet those who clicked on the link to get here from Lifehacker. I see that what was written there about this blog entry was included among a list of “how to’s” there recently.

And to all those visiting, I would like to say that I plan on posting another blog entry that further expands on what I have written here. I plan on writing more about what Adam Pash suggested about the possibility of a “Better YouTube” extension as I look further into how such an extension can be made. I expect to have this entry posted sometime in the next few days.

Also, to follow up further on what was written here, I should note at this time that the “YouTube Comments Next to Videos” seems to need to be updated.

Thanks,

J.K.

While the YouTube hacks are very interesting, the post itself suffers from a bit of logorrhea. By the time I got to the actual scripts, I had waded through so much extraneous and often irrelevant info that my eyes had gone fuzzy. All the “thinking out loud” stuff concerning what you considered writing about and what you may later write about is tedious to read and stands in the way of the subject at hand. Sure, it’s your blog, but if you’re concerned with creating something useful, hit the key points and trim some of the fat. You’re readers will appreciate it.
