This capability is available as a third-party tool:

Great, thanks, but - no.

(a) it doesn't exactly do what I want it to

(b) it's a third party (officially unsupported) extension

(c) GreaseMonkey itself is just too much of a security risk.

PS. I did upmod your post though :)

As the 'third party' that wrote this, I have to ask:

(a) What else do you want it to do? I'm bored and willing to add to it.

(b) Is it so mission critical you need official support? I'll gladly sell you a support contract for $100/yr. That will buy you piece of mind that if PG ever changes the html structure of the page, I'll update my GM script accordingly.

(c) Don't install scripts without looking at the source first. I posted mine for all to see.

PS. I'm serious about (a) ... I'll gladly work on it for fun.

Kind of unrelated request:

Can you write a GM script that displays a red envelope like in Reddit, if someone replies to any of my comments?

Thanks for the blacklist btw. Very useful. And your cross site GET via image request is interesting. How about multiple requests when the data doesn't fit (with an end-of-requests marker)
