Greasemonkey
By DarthTibaultYou want more features in Google? You want to have GoogleSuggest on the main page? You want to get rid of those ads? No need for complaining at Google: just make the changes yourself!
What do you need? Firefox (an other reason to switch
) and the extension Greasemonkey which lets you to add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web page to change its behavior.
Now all you have to do is write a script… or download one 
Here you can find a quite big list of available user scripts, there are probably more, but you have to find them. (If you find another good list, feel free to post the link in a comment).
I like a lot of the Google ones, like the Google Suggest one, the ad remover, some of the extra buttons for GMail,… go have a look!

And all you have to do to install them is a simple right click on the link to the script, and click ‘install user script’. That’s it! (well, and a refresh).
Well, have fun looking for, installing and using these scripts. I’m sure you’ll like them (I do).
Once again I’m proud of using Firefox 
Thanks to Usayd and webpronews.com for letting me know.
