This is not a big problem, but it is annoying enough that I downloaded the extension. I'd like to see a Firefox extension, too. I have been making little JavaScript extensions to do things like sift eBay results and remove sponsored links from searches on some sites. None are mainstream, but they are used and useful.

Any good place to start making extensions? I have been learning Javascript lately.

You can build for any platform once you can write Javascript. Chrome or mozilla...

From Chrome (and maybe Firefox) you can export an extension to a local folder and view the source. Also, many are on github that you can check out and play with. Find one that does something very simple and tinker, first just changing some text in it, then making bigger changes to get a feel for it.

Check out tampermonkey. You can add javascript to any loaded webpage. It can often replace the need for an extension and it much simpler to use.
