There may be several reasons to go directly to the target URL; avoiding ugly frames with ads, not wanting to contribute to the statistics, or lowering load times. Even worse is that some pages only deliver the target page with a certain probability.

I hope that you can find something useful from this list. I use a few of them myself. However, I cannot guarantee that they will work for you. Some scripts conflict with each other. It is all trial and error. What is cool though, is if you do have a problem with a script, you can leave information with the creator on their script page. Another thing is that you can read about issues, reviews, and other pertinent information from within the script page. If you have a script for Greasemonkey that you would like to share, leave a comment and share the wealth. If you like this article, leave a comment and don’t forget to tell others about it. Enjoy the scripts!
