If you spend a lot of time working with your browser, it’s very likely that you’ve heard of Userscripts. As the name suggests, user scripts are small code snippets meant to enhance your browsing experience. Scripts simply edit some aspects of your favourite web pages thanks to some css and / or javascript.
There are scripts that works with google.com, Facebook, Twitter…every famous website out there, mostly. These scripts are usually loaded with a browser extension: on Firefox we have Greasemonkey and on Safari its less known brother, GreaseKit.
So, if you’re running Snow Leopard and you use Safari, you’d probably like to give this GreaseKit a try. But, you’ll notice that it does not work at all. It won’t install and load any script.
Here’s the fix:
- First, be sure to install the latest version of SIMBL. It’s Snow Leopard and 64-bit compatible.
- Then, download GreaseKit here and move the .bundle file to SIMBL plugins folder.
- Last , the real fix, create a new folder and rename it to GreaseKit. Move it to ~/Library/Application Support. This will make GreaseKit install and load any script.
Enjoy! :)
