Greasemonkey. You should get it.
Allow me to recommend something. You don't have to be a programmer to use it. It's fun and useful and you will be recommending it to others pretty soon. It's Greasemonkey.

Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on. When you install it, it lets you modify the way you see any page on the web you want. Every time you add a "script" to Greasemonkey, it changes the way you see and interact with a particular site; there's a big repository of scripts at http://www.userscripts.org.

For example, take a look under http://userscripts.org/tags/livejournal : one script lets you comment on posts without leaving your friends page, one lets you ignore your friends' posts which have a given tag, one displays the city which anonymous commenters with IP recorded come from.

You can get Greasemonkey here.

Opera can use Greasemonkey scripts, too, only support is native rather than needing a plugin.

This is also a nifty thing.

Had I a spare year or so I'd write a version for Epiphany...

Ooh! I hadn't realized that! (I installed the last few upgrades without reading the "what's new" info.)

Last I heard, Opera didn't have all of the GM_ functions so you had to use the Emulate Greasemonkey script and muck about with some scripts (like my LJ New Comments script) to make them work. Simple stuff which just mucks about with the DOM should be OK, though.
