Tim O’Reilly points to a bundle of Greasemonkey hacks for Gmail that Gina over at Lifehacker’s put together. Great observation at the end of the post:

In the old days, Microsoft and Netscape fought to lock in users with incompatible extensions. Here we see the same thing happening simply because that one platform is open and the other is not. The users themselves are evolving the browser. There’s no intentional incompatibility (and it’s not in the browser itself). It’s just that one browser is getting more capable than the other as a result of its user community.
