I Live In The UK, Dammit!

Reloads .com pages as the UK equivalent (.co.uk) [very adaptable]

This stems from my habit of getting to pages by typing its name into the address bar and hitting enter (eg just typing 'amazon').
Problem is, it automatically loads the .com page.
So rather than manually change the extension, I created this to do it for me.

It's a very simple script and it's very adaptable - you could easily change it for different domains (eg .com --> .com.au).

By default it includes Amazon.com and Google.com [in the include list].
It shouldn't be too much of a chore to add more sites to the list if needs be.

Anyways, enjoy.

[note] - don't add MySpace to the include list, myspace.co.uk has been typo-squatted

Thank you.

Side note to users - some [google] pages don't have UK equivalents, like for example code.google.com and having the script active on these pages just leads to trouble.

Your best bet is to NOT include 'http://*.google.com', or just exclude pages when you come upon a problem.
