I wrote this because I was tired of seeing links to Amazon and IMDb with uninformative text and URLs -- I don't want to load a page just to know what book or movie someone is talking about. Since other sites do this, too, I opted to include all external links, rather than just specific sites.
+Ignores links to the same site, even if the host is different -- links from www.example.com to biz.example.com are ignored.
+By default, excludes Google, Yahoo, and Altavista, since search result pages are external-link dense, and normally well-labeled.
+If the link is to a page with no title, the title is set to "No title".
+Reports errors in the link title
+Now fetches pages which pass parameters in the link
+Handles non-ASCII character in titles
+Fixed handling of linebreaks between title tags
This is my first Greasemonkey script, and I'm sure there's some rooom for improvement, but it's working for me so far.
