MouseHole

I found a very interesting program that act as proxy... greasemonkey style. It's named MouseHole. It will work on all web browsers because all HTML traffic will goes through MouseHole proxy and it will modify the HMTL data by using scripts. That way, you don't have to put extension for every internet browser on your computer, or even better... modify all HTML data from internet to your entire home or business network using proxy server with MouseHole running on it (somehow...). The author of MouseHole, WhyTheLuckyStiff, hangs out over at the RedHanded blog. MouseHole 1.1 just recently came out.

However, MouseHole using different coding for their scripts. It is using Ruby, a "interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming". Which mean that all current geasemonkey scripts have to be converted in order to work in MouseHole. For example, my current Mailto Envelope greasemonkey script has been converted to MouseHole script (thank to Christopher T. Osborn). You can see big differences, but can be learned.
