Would it be possible to set up an area here on PM that people can share their web browser custom hacks that manipulate and perform actions based on site content?

I'm thinking JS, CSS and other browser-intrusive things that people have customized. A localized repository of these things for people to share would be nice.

I know of at least a few Monks who do this kind of thing to get alerts, filter content, re-layout content etc. I know a bit about this sort of manipulation, but it would be great if we had a space specific for site hacks, so that people who aren't overly in tune with such things can have copy/pastable code to drop. Each entry would come with the code, where to put the code (ie. how to implement the hack), and what browser they typically use while using the code. Optionally, a link to a real repository for their entry would be included, as to make updating (or at least a review of future updates) possible.

update: This need not be limited to browser hacks. It could also include such things as scripts/code that scrape, and take action based on what is found (like my little Perlmonks XP thing I wrote for an LCD last year for example).
