Reify Turnabout

Reify’sTurnabout, Greasemonkey for Internet Explorer


For those of you who use Firefox, you are probably familiar with the greasemonkey extension. The greasemonkey extension allows users to install customized javascripts that modifies how Firefox loads a webpage. For example, the Gmail secure script automatically redirects Firefox to sign into Gmail securely. I use both Firefox and InternetExplorer (IE) and I always thought it was a shame that IE didn’t have such a feature. But all that changed when I discovered Reify’s Turnabout. Simply put Turnabout is the IE’s equivalent of Firefox’s greasemonkey extension. Turnabout comes in two versions, a basic version and an advance version. The basic version only has 5 javascripts, including: 1.)Adblocker, 2.) Linkify, 3.)Book Burro, 4.) BugMeNotand 5.) Highlight search term. The advance version, in the addition to the five previously mentioned scripts, users can install any and all of the javascripts available. Be warn though, there are two drawbacks with the advance version. The first drawback is that not all of the scripts written for greasemonkey work with IE. The second drawback is an increase in vulnerability as a result of running every javascript. The scripts for the basic version are tried and tested but others are not necessarily safe, after all the scripts were written by motivated computer geeks. There are two outstanding websites that serve as a repositary of scripts. The first is the greasemonkey webpage onmozdeg.org and the other is userscripts.org.
