Hack: twitter_no_popups.user.js

Twitter has this nasty habit — if you come across a tweet in your feed reader containing a URL, and you want to follow that link, you can’t, because Twitter doesn’t auto-link URLs in its RSS feeds. Instead, you have to click on the feed item, itself, wait for that to open in the browser, then click on the link in the new browser tab. That link will, in turn, open in another new tab.

Here’s a quick-hack Greasemonkey user script to inhibit this second new-tab:

‘Bugzilla See Earlier Comments’ User Script

Here’s a new Greasemonkey user script which fixes a minor annoyance in the Bugzilla user interface. When viewing the ‘Create a New Attachment’ page, this will transclude the previous comments onto the bottom of that page, for reference while editing: bz_see_earlier_comments.user.js

Thanks to Jesse Ruderman for the nifty AJAXish iframe-transclusion trick it uses.
