One-click delete in Gmail, thanks to GreaseMonkey

Thanks to GreaseMonkey and this nifty user script from Anthony Lieuallen, deleting emails in Gmail got much easier and less iffy (there were times when I selected “Add Star” when I really wanted to “Move to Trash”).

Oh yes, that’s Trackback spam.

What other neat GreaseMonkey stuff did I miss?

Sadly it only works in the inbox. A delete button in the search result page would be handy. :-(

I hadn’t expected FF’s grease monkey extension to be this helpful/cool, I really need to try it out. So far, I’ve never really got to using it after reading a negative review of it somewhere (I think), that and the fact that after installing quite a few extensions in the fast, I really bloated firefox so I refrain from using extensions as much as possible.
