20+ Greasemonkey Scripts for Digg
Digg is a great site, but as any other thing in this world, it has its flaws.
This list compiles a series of Greasemonkey scripts (small bits of Javascript which allow you to customise the way a page is displayed) for Firefox, which enhance the Digg interface and behaviour, for a better “Digging” experience.
You obviously need the Firefox browser, with Greasemonkey extension installed.
So here we go:
- Digg No New Windows
- Multi-column digg
- Digg AdBlocker
- Digg Lite
- Only Digg News/Comments
- Search Most Dugg Stories
- Digg Top 10 Direct
- Digg Mirrors
- Digg Menu
- Digg Picture Preview
- Digg Nagger Removal
- LightBox for Hyperlinks
- Digg Hide Buried Comments
- BROKEN
- Digg Comment Enhancer
- Always Show Nested Comments
- Display friends diggs
- Digg Deep
- Only Digg News
- New Tab on External Links
- Change colour of links by category
Remove _blank target from links on digg so that it won’t open new windows for articles. Go to page
Rearranges Digg’s interface, displaying the news in columns, to make better use of the space available. Go to page
When Adblock Plus is not enough - removes the ads from Digg
Go to page
Strips bloated sections from digg and displays only the news (removes the right column, allowing the stories and comments to take up the full width and the page footer)
Go to page
Same as above - removes all content on Digg except News and Comments.
Go to page
Changes Digg’s default behaviour when searching stories. Instead of displaying the newest stories, it displays the most dugg.
Go to page
Replaces the links to the Digg comment page, in the Top 10 sidebar with links directly to the articles, for easier reading.
Go to page
Adds links to DuggMirror, DuggBack, Wayback Machine, Google Cache, Coral Cache, and DotCache at the end of every article title. Useful for viewing sites which suffered the “Digg effect”
Go to page
Changes the behavior of the Digg menu
Go to page
Previews directly linked pictures on digg
Go to page
Removes some of the Digg annoyances/footer/featured video (same as some of the scripts above).
This one is designed to open a hyperlink within a current page instead of jumping to a new page or opening a new window. The script will embed an IFRAME on the center of the page with a lightbox effect. Below the lightbox, there are two links available for you to choose: ‘Open in new window’ and ‘Open in current window’.
Go to page
Hides buried comments (and their children) on digg.
Go to page
More like a funny script: replaces the word “BREAKING” with “LAME” on Digg stories. Good antidote to those who believe their old news is “breaking” :)
Go to page
The Digg comment enhancer allows you to easily add mirrors and images to your digg comments and it displays image links and youtube videos directly in the digg comments, so you don’t have to click to view the picture.
Go to page
Forces digg to always show nested comments
Go to page
Displays the list of your friends that have dugg an article under each story title.
Go to page
Bypass the Digg comments page and go straight to the story. Good for opening Digg pages in tabs via a feed reader like Google Reader.
Go to page
Another script to strip Digg of unused sections. Removes all content on Digg except News. [Hides Comments too]
Go to page
Adds a target_blank to off-site links so that they can open in a new tab and in the background (tabbrowser set appropriately)
Go to page
This script colourizes links on the index pages of digg based on their category.
Go to page
Enjoy a better Digg!

Nice list. It’s interesting to see that Digg have implemented some of these features on the site now. They must be listening…
Still, there are plenty of features in that list that I will use.
