Top 10 Greasemonkey User Scripts
Click to viewSometimes web sites don't work or look the way you want them to - but if you're using the Firefox web browser with the Greasemonkey extension, you can do something about it.

Geek to Live: Create your master feed with Yahoo! Pipes by Gina Trapani Click to viewAs a prolific netizen, you generate lots of web-based feeds: your Flickr photos, your del.icio.us bookmarks, your weblog posts and your Lifehacker comments, to name a few.

Geek to Live: Back up Gmail with fetchmail
by Gina Trapani Click to view While I love the convenience and features of Gmail, I hate that all my messages live on Google's servers. Without a local copy, if I can't get online, or if Gmail has an outage, my email's inaccessible. While it's possible to download your Gmail with a POP client like Thunderbird, constantly running a program just to backup your email consumes CPU cycles and memory. I

Geek to Live: Top Windows tweaks - Lifehacker
by Gina Trapani After I wiped my hard drive clean and reinstalled Windows XP last week, I booted up into an pristine, default operating system - that felt a lot like a hotel room just before I rolled my luggage in, tossed my jacket on the couch, unmade the bed and set my toothbrush next to the sink. I had no idea how many changes I'd made to Windows to fit my preferences over the years until they
Geek to Live: The best apps of 2006
by Gina Trapani Click to view2006 was another wild and wacky year in software and web development. While Google launched or acquired a new product every week, Intel Macs made the unholy marriage of Windows and OS X possible, Joe Schmoe's became the self-made video stars of the web on YouTube, Internet Explorer got tabs and Microsoft finally ponied up the new version of Windows they've been promisi
Geek to Live: My favorite Greasemonkey user scripts - Lifehacker
by Gina Trapani The Greasemonkey Firefox extension associates a bit of Javascript with specific web pages and runs it every time you visit, dynamically changing the appearance and functionality of those pages. The "Swiss Army Knife" of Firefox extensions requires a bit of rampup to get going, but it's an incredibly versatile and useful way to customize the web to your liking. I've been a Greasemon

Geek to Live: Consolidate Firefox's chrome
Click to viewYou're a power web surfer, so of course you use Firefox. But while the Firefox team has done a great job of creating an interface that accommodates most web surfers, you're not most surfers. There are bunch of unnecessary buttons, menus and doodads in the Firefox control area (the "chrome") that you don't need, taking up space you could be using to see and do more with your web pages
Google Sync your bookmarks across computers
Back in June I made it pretty clear that Google Sync, a plugin for Firefox that replicates your browser data across computers, wasn't my cup 'o tea. Well, I've since U-turned on Google Sync - for one specific purpose. I work across two machines running Firefox on a daily basis, and I hate how my bookmarks toolbar became different on each computer over time. Sure, you can export your bookmarks and
