I like the "Google Web History" (google.com/history) - but it requires the Google Toolbar to be installed, as well as the "PageRank" icon to be loaded.

Was wondering if it would be possible to pass the "Web History" to Google Web History via a GreaseMonkey script.

I loaded Fiddler - HTTP Debugging Proxy, and here's some of the information I was able to grab.

Anything possible with this information?

neato....I did a little bit of searching and found this:
http://my.opera.com/edvakf/blog/2008/01/05/you-...

Turns out it's a UserScript for "Opera" browser, that allows logging of Google Web History with Opera.

Though, I don't know how compatible Opera UserScripts are with Firefox Greasemonkey userScripts.

Possible for someone to check it out for compatibility?

there's an opera userjs script that tries to make greasemonkey scripts compatible with opera, maybe that will help you?

well, thus far it seems to be logging fine - using Firefox without the Google Toolbar. No modifications necessary on my end :) So that's great.

yea that is true. But I think installing and managing a userscript is easier to install then installing the Google Toolbar ;) That was the primary aim of this.

I'm using FirefoxPortable and want the install to be as small as possible so this script works great thus far ;)
