Greasemonkey Firefox extension adds a bit of Javascript to certain web pages and runs it every time you visit, to change the functionality and appearance of those pages.

There are thousands of scripts that you can install to customize just about anything you can think of. However, there are a few scripts that are quite useful and popular that you should consider using if you’re not already doing so!

So Today, we’ve brought together the top 20 Google related Greasemonkey scripts to enhance your Gmail, Google Reader and Google search experience.

If you are a Greasemonkey newbies, you need to do the following:

• First you need to install the Greasemonkey Firefox extension.
• To use a certain script, you need to go to the script page and click on the "Install this script" button if the script is on the UserScripts website. Otherwise just right-click on the link and choose "Install User Script" from the context menu.
• Reload the page to see the script in action.
