A userscript (or user script) is a program, usually written in JavaScript, for modifying web pages [1] to augment browsing. Uses include adding shortcut buttons and keyboard shortcuts, controlling playback speeds, adding features to sites, and enhancing the browsing history .
Userscript managers use metadata that is embedded in a script's source code primarily to determine the websites it should execute on and the dependencies necessary for the script to run properly. Metadata can also include information that is useful to the user such as the script's name, author, description and version number.
The changes made to the web pages are executed every time the page is viewed, making them effectively permanent for the user running the script. Greasemonkey can be used for customizing page appearance, adding new functions to web pages (for example, embedding price comparisons within shopping sites), fixing rendering bugs, combining data from ...

EnhanceHistory shows diffs in the history of an item.; Single column diffs - Display the diff page as one column instead of two.; Suppress redundant entries merges edits by the same author to one entry, and highlights large edits.
The logic here was to display the page, but check if the top location is the same as the current page, and replace the top by current if not. This method however can be easily bypassed by blocking execution of the framebuster script from the outer frame.
NoScript can force the browser to always use HTTPS when establishing connections to some sensitive sites, in order to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. This behavior can be triggered either by the websites themselves, by sending the Strict Transport Security header, or configured by users for those websites that don't support Strict Transport Security yet.
