How hard is it to engineer scripts like that? Won't those come pretty quickly to Chrome? The OS X battlefield will be interesting because Safari is so prominent. If Apple/Webkit decide they want to compete with Chrome, they're in an excellent position to do so - and they already have Javascript disabling, ad blocking, and GreaseMonkey support in Safari, not to mention a browser that's incredibly fast.

CreamMonkey support is provided by an Input Manager hack; they may go away in a future release of OS X and would need to be redone completely. A better alternative is to make a WebKit plugin with WebKit's API, see ClickToFlash.

  I wasn't talking about CreamMonkey. I was talking about GreaseKit.

    GreaseKit used to be CreamMonkey. Its still an Input Manager.

GlimmerBlocker is a nice ad-blocker for OS X that works across browsers. I'll let the website do the explaining: http://glimmerblocker.org/ http://glimmerblocker.org/ IMHO, these guys need to do some more marketing.

  That's the one I was talking about, yeah. On OS X ad blocking isn't such a big necessity since GlimmerBlocker does all of it no matter what browser.
