   Tamil, I’m surprised you didn’t reference something that suppresses blank targets. I can think of nothing more annoying than documents opening in new windows when I didn’t ask for it to happen. So, personally I use this code:

   document.addEventListener(’DOMContentLoaded’, function() {
   nodes = document.evaluate(’//@target["_blank" or "blank"]‘, document, null, 0, null);
   while (attr = nodes.iterateNext())
   attr.value = ‘_top’;
   }, false);

   It doesn’t catch absolutely everything, but it gets the vast majority without causing problems for framed pages and panels.

   Here’s one that I have written few years back that you may find useful – a toolbar appears over individual images on the page and allows zooming in/out:

   http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/zoom-image

   Here’s how it looks like:

   It works in Opera and Greasemonkey.

   BTW, it’s a shame userjs.org does not seem to be maintained any more.

   Very nice list Tamil, thanks.
   btw, the two (IMHO) most useful scripts here Autosizer and Image thumb have some kind of a conflict. Autosizer refuses to work when Image thumb is also loaded. That is in the latest Opera 10, it may work in older version.

    This stuff is ancient. It’s a real shame userjs.org died for no apparent reason.

    What’s this:

    ”
    Javascript URL thread: “javascript:opera.getSelectionSource()”
    Error:
    name: TypeError
    message: Statement on line 1: Type mismatch (usually non-object value supplied where object required)
    stacktrace: Line 1 of unknown script
    opera.getSelectionSource()
    ”
    ??

    Good job,Tamil!
    And I think it’s cool userjavascript,too.
    oAutopagerize
    http://d.hatena.ne.jp/os0x/20071202/oautopagerize

    This userjavascript move like autopagerize(for Greasemonkey).

    btw, gallery crawler is kinda redundant, since Opera has FastForward which interestingly works wonders on galleries.

    One that I find really useful that didn’t make the list is a script that automatically adds “&fmt=18″ to the end of all URLs on YouTube. That means whenever you load a video, you always get the high def. version (if there is one).

    I feel Opera is missing a trick by not really advertising its ability to handle userjs as well as buttons. They are a key differentiating point which separates Opera from other browsers, and IMO makes Opera the best browser. A new user just does not know about these features when they download Opera. Maybe it will be a good idea if another pull down menu called “More” is added by the side of help which will contain userjs, buttons, and links to mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts, or the pull down menu for widgets is broadened to be called “Widgets and more” or something of that sort.

    Great listing, Tamil.

    Power Drag is my fav Opera “add-on” for writing in tiny text fields.

    @Nilopal: Good suggestion…Opera should host a central userJS site, and make it easy for Opera users to find it. Definitely another Opera competitive differentiator of which few are aware…
