Customize your Google News - or anything else Google!

Whilst reading my blogline subs this am, I noticed a cool post to a Firefox hack that 'enhances' your Google search experience. Note, I had to tweak the Javascript code a tiny bit because Google.ca sites weren't being 'butler'ed properly. Butler does the following:
  • removes ads on most Google pages
  • fixes fonts on most Google pages
  • Google web search:
    • adds links to other search sites ("Try your search on...")
    • in news results, adds links to other news sites
    • in movie results, adds links to other movie sites
    • in weather results, adds links to other weather sites
    • in product results, adds links to other product sites
  • Google image search:
    • adds links to other image/photo/art sites
  • Google News:
    • adds links to other news sites
  • Froogle:
    • adds links to other product sites
  • Google Print:
    • Removes image copying restrictions
    • adds links to other book sites
  • Google Toolbar Firefox page:
    • adds links to other Firefox-friendly toolbars
