I have friends who refuse to use social networks other than MySpace. I’ve found a few Greasemonkey scripts in Firefox and MySpace is a much more tolerable place. They are: Automatic MySpace Media Remover, Myspace Annoyance Removal, Myspace – Custom Layout Dis/Enable. Plus, I also add any of those add-on MP3 players to my AdBlock blocked list.

Myspace recently created a “feature” where it detects your IP address and logs you into the native language of your country. Like Google, it’s annoying as hell for webdev people like me who clean their cookies often. But unlike Google, it’s not easy to figure out how to set it back to English. And worse than that, they get it wrong… I live in Thailand, and they set my language to Spanish. I’m done with Myspace, it’s too difficult to figure out how to set it back to English.

Either the guys at TechCrunch can’t tell time, or this article was written last year. Since this add-on is not new.

Does the plugin work for Facebook? If it is then it is a good thing for civilization that all these useless social networking sites could be blocked for good from users. It protect social networking users from self-destruction of being vain.

peter = how about one that just redirects you to techcrunch whenever you make a mistake and accidentally leave the site? that would be way cooler in my opinion.

This reminds me of the warning users get when clicking on an outbound link from myspace, they actually have to cheek to warn people they might be leaving the safety zone of myspam..

Hey Michael, can you make one of these for TC so I can get some sleep?

Hey cool, they managed to make the most god awful ugly alert imaginable. Fitting, seeing as it is blocking the most horrendous website ever created.

This would actually be useful if it stripped MySpace pages of its animated content and left only profile info, comments, pictures, and videos for easy viewing.

@ 1… lol

Seriously though, I would use this type of plug-in if it worked for all Microsoft owned or sponsored sites.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with Firefox 3.

Good cause, though.

This would actually be moderately useful if rather than myspace you could set domains that you wanted to be warned about, or something…I mean, the concept is certainly amusing, anyway.

I believe autoplay on music was either banned or restricted, because it seems like the default is “off” now. Then again, my computer is usually muted.

it seems funny now…but this will eventually lead to some lawsuits once rival sites stealthily start making or sponsoring their own that target competing sites.. microsoft, facebook easy targets. imagine a SAI or even a valleywag sponsored plugin that does that to everyone that tries to visit techcrunch?.. well this plugin will get “highjacked” by some to serve their own…

The plugin makes a point in that most MySpace pages are so poorly designed that it seems like time-travelling back to 1995 when people still thought that the quality of your private homepage is improved by adding loads of annoying animated GIFs.

Moreover, MySpace users seem to think it’s cool to play music to the unsuspecting visitor without asking. Believe me, there are only few things less cool than accidentally visiting a MySpace page and suddenly getting played some song at a blaring volume.

Oh, if only they’d had this when geocities sites were everywhere. You’d accidentally land on one, and blammo, popup ads!
