Remove all the unnecessary clutter from IMDb with Less IMDb.

This userscript works well in Chrome and Firefox with Greasemonkey, but it doesn’t seem to work in Opera.

Install from here: Less IMDb

How to install userscripts

1. Install the Custom Buttons² Firefox extension

2. Go to View -> Add New Button in Firefox’s menu bar (screenshot)

3. Add the following text into the Code box (screenshot)

/*Code*/
const toolbar = document.getElementById("gtbToolbar");
toolbar.collapsed = !toolbar.collapsed;

4. Add the following text into the Initialization Code box (screenshot)

/* Custom Buttons Attributes Block Start */
this.setAttribute('author','Deadman36g, jw25, others');
this.setAttribute('version','20080313.00');
this.setAttribute('homepage', 'http://bit.ly/9OuW6');
this.setAttribute('dependency','null');
this.setAttribute('status','Dev');
this.setAttribute('public',true);
this.setAttribute('help','0,null');
// this.tooltipText += '';
/* Custom Buttons Attributes Block End */

5. Fill in a name for your button, choose a custom image if you want, and save it. For my image I searched for “google favicon” in Google Images and picked one that was 16×16 pixels.

6. Now go to View -> Toolbars -> Customize and drag your new button to a place of your choosing. Mine is on my bookmarks toolbar. (screenshot)

And you’re done! If you need to edit the button further you can right-click on it to get a menu with more options.
