Best Free Greasemonkey User Script [1]
Introduction
Greasemonkey is a hugely popular addon for most mainstream browsers. To me, this is my second most used add-on (first being DownloadHelper).
A Greasemonkey user script could be anything from blocking ads, to adding several different things to google search or a bot which basically browses the Internet for you. Greasemonkey is most known for Firefox; however, it can also be available (or at least run the scripts listed in this) for other browsers [3].
All of the links will be to userscripts.org [4] which in my opinion is the best site for scripts.
In this article I will pick 5 of the best, review and describe them in a concise way.

Honorable Mentions
eBayMaps [23] - This is a very 'nifty' script intended to locate an item by one click when browsing eBay. For example, if you're looking for a local car then no need to message the user asking their location, this will find it for you!
GreaseFire [24] - This isn't a script however it helps you find scripts. Basically when you install it (Firefox only I think) it lights up whenever you are on a page where there are scripts which you could install. Then you click on the icon and it takes you to a new window which gives you a list of the scripts, with details and with one click of a button they are installed on your system and in affect on the page. There is a downside though as it apears to slow down your browser (or it seemed for me). This is because it has to search the Internet on every page to find scripts - sometimes there are thousands.
