Circumvent Wikipedia’s Blackout with Firefox and NoScript

Today the English version of Wikipedia is blacked out to protest the SOPA legislation that is on the books in the United States. Sources say that people wishing to access Wikipedia can still do so using the mobile version of the site; however, this is unnecessary as they are using simple Javascript to overlay the site content with the “Blacked Out” message.

Inject Dojo Bookmark

Sometimes it can be handy to inject Dojo into pages that would not otherwise have it. I’ve used this so I can use dojo.query() on a page to select DOM objects while testing a parser in a different language.

Cookie Injection Using Greasemonkey

There are several Firefox plugins which allow the user to manipulate their browser cookies. However, most of these plugins force the user to manipulate cookies individually. This can become tedious if the user is simply “importing” cookies from, say, a wireshark dump.

The CookieInjector userscript simplifies this process, by allowing the user to copy-paste the cookie portion of the dump and have the cookies from the dump automatically created on the currently viewed web page.
