It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Update to the script!

I got tired of having to type in my username and password at the top of the screen all the time, so I made it so that if you successfully log in then it remembers the username and password that you used for next time. This should make the whole thing much more unobtrusive.

The part of the script that was changed is hosted on the server, so you don't have to update anything on your side - you will just magically log on in future.
edit: hmm... it looks like in Firefox local storage isn't as persistent as one would expect, so you might still get the username/password prompt if you restart Firefox and then visit GOG. That might be a bug in Firefox. Other browsers seem fine.

It doesn't work for Internet Explorer?

superfly2000: It doesn't work for Internet Explorer?
Explorer doesn't support user scripting by default, though there seems to exist a few plugins that try to add similar functionality as the Greasemonkey Firefox extension. I haven't tried them myself so I cannot tell how well they work. Try Greasemonkey for IE or Trixie.

A little wonkyness I noticed with Safari (on Windows, don't know how it affects the mac yet so I'll just assume it's the same).

If you have your security settings set to accept cookies "Only from sites I visit", you can't log in through the script, logging in through the site gets the script working. Setting the browser to "Always" accept cookies works as well, but may be a slight security risk.
"this extension can access:
your data on all websites"

thank you for your hardwork.

but
no.
Safari extension updated, same URL, so the link in the OP doesn't need to be changed (pity though that I didn't think of backing up the older version, I like to have records of the progress I've made).

Changes include:
* It seems to work better (the problem mentioned in my last post seems to be gone)
* Rather than "running" on all pages (but only whitelisting gog.com) it should now only run on GOG.com.
* Safari should be able to check for updates automagically, which is only relevant in case I actually do update in the future.

Nice work. Thanks, Miaghstir.

@lukas: It sounds like Miaghstir's latest change should have the extension affect only gog.com, as it is meant to. Hopefully you'll feel better about that.
I've learnt some new things about GreaseMonkey recently and have put together a new user script that's much better than the old one, but it is Firefox-only for now. It integrates properly into gog.com through the DOM without using any iframes, so it's much more seemless than the old one.

If you are in Firefox and have GreaseMonkey installed then click on http://gogpm.barefoot-monkey.org.za/download/gogpm-gog-firefox.user.js to install the new script. If you have still have the old script still installed then you should uninstall that (so you don't have notifications appearing twice on the screen or silly things like that).

If it is possible I'll port the improved script to other browsers when I get the chance.
Also, I made an icon to go with the extension, it might be useful for the GogPM site as well.
Zip file with sizes 16, 32, 48, and 64 px (png images)

The 16px icon is specifically made for that size rather than scaled down from the larger ones, to look nice and sharp rather than being a blurry mess.

If the GOG.com team thinks it looks too official, as if we're trying to impersonate them, I'll remove it.

Cool. I'm using that for a favicon now.

You know, I have never heard a single word from the GOG team about GogPM. I should have asked them something for that YouTube Q&A thing.
