Will-Get Widgets - Konfabulator (Yahoo! Widgets) December 16, 2005

“Who says you have to go through B to travel from A to C?“™

After enduring the less-than-perfect interface provided by the Yahoo! Widgets Repository, (which involves a redirecting page to download the widget file, which invariably redirects you to the begining of the collection after each download) for more than I could handle (5 minutes), I decided that a GreaseMonkey solution was warranted.

Version History:

• v0.1 - 16 December 2005
  Initial release.

How It Does What It Does:

This script reads each of the links on any page within the Yahoo! Widgets galleryand, upon finding a link to the despised redirect page, changes it to point to the actual download page which the redirect page fires off.

Enjoy!
