Many Firefox users have taken advantage of Greasemonkey – a sort of swiss army knife for Javascript and HTML that lets you tweak webpages to display the way YOU want. Now Android users can have some of the same functionality with OilCan.
OilCan looks for webpages that match predefined patterns and inserts Javascript code into them to change the way they look and behave.
Everything from simple formatting changes (fonts, paragraph spacing, columns, etc) to extra buttons that can launch other Android apps can be created.
Many existing Greasemonkey scripts will work ‘out of the box’, but OilCan takes things further by allowing scripts to trigger Android ‘Intents’ that pass webbdata to and from Android apps. At the link below you can see a video of a barcode scanner that has been integrated into the website half.com.
