Hi, I really like the linkifier, how I wrote in the review. Although I have a little wish, that concerns this post: http://userscripts.org/topics/11812?page=2#post.... It's about this HTML-Code which isn't linkified:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta or: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta

It would be nice if you made an option that enables a linkification in this case as well. Or you could just say which RegExps I need to change to achieve this.
With this option, your script is perfect :)

I never really saw the need for this, and then there is my concern about a decrease in script-performance.. For this script to be useful it has to be fast! As I said in one post after the one you mentioned, at least on google.com it's not giving us any benefit, since the link is already there!? Where is it you need this anyway? I could take another look at this if you can convince me of the advantages.

Well, if it's at perfomance's cost then it's perhaps really better to leave it like it is.
I don't remember having to click a link where this problem appears but it just leaps out when browsing google.
But, nevermind, I'd just be fine without that feature as a little experience with the script showed ;)
