Alright, I have no technical/computer savviness in me at all. Can someone help?
1. Why do I have to have Firefox?
2. Why is coup so "cool"?
3. I want a coup, but have no idea how to download it, apply it, etc.Sorry if this is dumbed down, but you said you're no techie. Firefox is an internet browser. It helps you connect to the internet, it's much like Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Firefox is different, in which all competing programs are. It can allow for plug-ins and add-ons (IE doesn't do so easily). Some more common ones are ad-blocking and customization, etc. These plug-ins are developed because the basic program doesn't have it, and it adds to the experience.
Greasemonkey is an add-on and allows users to create "scripts" to run on certain web pages and sites. For example, if you want a button on youtube to easily download a video, there's a script for that. If you think facebook needs to be a little better, there's a script for that.
Coup D Bungie is a script I have created, and a "coup" could possibly mean two things. One is the actual script, and the other is just the "visual data" for a certain user (I like your coup/coup settings, etc.). Coup was started by CAVX and allowed users to customize their avatar, their title, and their title bar (the bar with the username, title, message, and groups).
Even better, is that coup could display tons of user's data and anybody that had coup, could see others' settings. It was amazing!
He decided one day to discontinue it, so we talked and now I run coup. The extra bit is that instead of him manually adding user data, you can actually do it from the script. So you can update your settings and then everyone who has the script will also see them.
It's been growing with users ever since because you know, Bungie is just much better when you have your custom avatar.
