The beauty of Greasemonkey is it can practically make anything better - even YouTube. Now it can’t make the idiots smacking themselves in the face with flaming bags of poo smarter, but it can give you a better way of viewing, downloading and sharing their misfortunes with your own crew of friends. Here is the Firefox Facts round up of some of the newest and the best Greasemonkey scripts to make YouTube really better.
1. Youtube Get FLV URL - Grab the URL for the .flv file so you can save the YouTube video to your desktop.
2. BetterTube - A number of hacks and fixes to try to make YouTube video (and other providers) better.
3. YouTube Relinker - This replaces YouTube embedded videos with a link to watch it on YouTube.com.
4. Videoembed - Auto adds the embed codes so you can watch videos in a screen right under the links.
5. YouTube Country Server Selector - Replaces YouTube embedded videos server with your country server or the one that you wish to use.
6. Video Focus v1.0.7 - Allows you to remove all the rest of the page content so you can focus right on the video you want to watch. You can also resize or maximize the video centered on the site.
7. Youtube Alternate Video Player - Replace the YouTube default player with the one from flowplayer.org.
8. YouTube Lyrics - Want to know the words to that video your watching? This script places a lyrics search link on the video’s page.
9. Pop YouTube Video Into Sidebar - Does exactly what you would think it does. Pushes your YouTube video to the sidebar in Firefox.
10. YousableTubeFix - Does a number of fixes such as removing ads, download links for videos, displaying all comments for a video and more.
As a side note, to try out any of these on Firefox you will need to make sure you have Greasemonkey installed. Know of any scripts that do the YouTube job better?

I have gotten a few e-mails lately wanting me to give Better GReader a second look. Maybe I didn’t give off enough of an ecstatic glow with my last look, but this time I promise to do better!
For those of you who are not familiar with the idea, Gina at Lifehacker is a master at rolling up a lot of great Greasemonkey hacks into one big extension for Firefox adding form, functionality and style to various Google services.
Here are some of the Greasemonkey Google Reader scripts that got rolled up into Better GReader:
I always look forward to seeing what they do with their “Better” Firefox series of extensions at Lifehacker and this one is no different. Pick it up for yourself and let me know what you like or don’t like about it.

There has been a lot of cool tools, tweaks, links and news to fall through the cracks this week so let me get you caught up to date with a little round up of my top five stories of the week. Well, top five that didn’t start at FirefoxFacts.com anyways, Hehe…
5. Wrap Firefox’s Bookmarks Toolbar - Neat tweak to make that toolbar wrap onto multiple lines instead of scrolling off the right side.
4. Meet the Firefox Marketing Team - Check out the folks who’s job it is to spread the word about Firefox to all. Plus, you can get a little more information behind them too.
3. First Look at Firefox 3.0 - A series of screen shots of what you can expect to see in Firefox 3. If your just itching to see what it looks like, this is the link for you. They get two thumbs up from me thus far.
2. Gmail Greasemonkey API - The recent Gmail updates broke a lot of Greasemonkey tweaks - and now it looks like the Google Gmail team are offering an olive branch to the create scripters.
1. Better Gmail is Back - Gina over at Lifehacker has updated the Better Gmail extension to work with some of the recent changes to the Gmail system. All your old favorites might not be enabled in the extension just yet - but I am sure with time this extension will become as good (if not better) than Better Gmail 1.
Have a link suggestion? Pass it to me at mitch@mitchkeeler.com!

Month after month, the most popular post I have done seems to be the best Greasemonkey script roundup. Just wanted to let everybody know I have updated the list, deleted some junk and hopefully now it is worth its popularity levels yet again.
Here are some of the other posts that were popular last month:
If there is ever anything you’d like to see me cover, talk about or stop talking about - my door is always open, shoot me over a line or two.

Do you like to multi-task? Why check your e-mail and read your feeds in two different web applications when you can get it all done in one by combining the power of Google Reader and Gmail.
Now I have talked before about the Gmail + Google Reader greasemonkey script before. After giving it another shot the other day though I noticed the experience is much more polished. What does that mean? Well looking at it right now it really looks like it belongs there - and doesn’t just look like an out of place web page stuck on another web page.
If you haven’t given this greasemonkey script a try in a while, it might be time to do so. Also if Google Reader isn’t your thing - you can do the same thing with Google Calendar too.
