How to hide a Myspace users profile customization
Userscripts.org has a neat script for Myspace users that essentially turns off the customization that you see on many profiles (just while viewing them). Have a look at the before and after below to understand what I'm talking about. By following the directions here you will be able to turn-off user customization on any profiles that you visit with just one-click - the idea being that you don't have to subject yourself to all that clutter.

After screenshot: Same Myspace profile "Decrapified"
Okay here we go.
Requirements: You will need Mozilla Firefox to implement what is discussed in this particular post.
How to hide, or rather, decrapify, a Myspace users profile customization - step by step
1. No way around this, It will only work with the Firefox browser so, if you haven't already done so, go download and install Firefox. You'll be glad you did!
2. After installing Firefox, fire it up and go here. Just to be clear on this, you should be reading this post from your brand spanking new Firefox browser. If you're reading this using Internet Explorer or any other browser, close it down and open Firefox.
3. Okay, so you're running Firefox and you're at the link from step 2. Click on the series of numbers (something like 0.6.5.20060727) located under the "Current Release" tab. You'll be taken to the Greasemonkey installation page.

4. Click on the "Install now" box. A "Software Installation" dialog box will appear. Click on its "Install" button.

If all is well, you should see a new window labeled "Extensions" and a newly installed item called "Greasemonkey". Note that it also says "Greasemonkey will be upgraded when Firefox is restarted".

5. Close the window labeled "Extensions", then close and restart the Firefox browser for the install to take effect.
6. Good, you're back! Now that you have installed Firefox, and Greasemonkey, the hard part is over. You're ready to install the actual script. Go here to get the Myspace custom style remover script.
7. Click on the link in the upper right-hand corner that reads "Install this Script". You'll be taken to a new page where the script will be installed.

If you get a pop-up dialog at the top of the browser with an install button, click install.

8. You should get an Alert window that says something like myspacecustomstyleremover.user.js installed successfully.

Click "Ok" to close it.
9. Pat yourself on the back! You're done.
Myspace usage:
Okay, on your browser status bar (bottom of browser) you should see a Monkey icon.

Clicking it will turn it on (red) and off (grey). To see it in action go to a customized Myspace profile and view it. Now, click the Monkey icon on your browser and refresh the same profile. You should see a difference. Whew!
