Mikyra: /* Developing with Greasemonkey */

= About GreaseMonkey =
Greasemonkey is a powerful tool for customizing [[Firefox]].

[http://www.reifysoft.com/turnabout.php Turnabout] is a tool for IE for the same purpose. Its APIs are largely compatible with Greasemonkey, allowing for cross-browser user scripts.

Opera can also run Greasmonkey scipts using the built-in support for [http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/ user javascripts].

While there is no way to extend Safari directly, [http://safariguide.net/ Safari Guide] will allow you to run JavaScripts (though not GreaseMonkey scripts) against the front page in Safari.

This page collects ways to use them with microformats.
