Personalized homepages are a good place to start your Internet browsing, but many people would like to do more inside this space: read their mails and send replies, read news, search and preview the search results.
Google OnScreen is a GreaseMonkey script that opens each external link from your Google Personalized Homepage in a small iframe inside the page, where you can read the news and then go back to your homepage easily.
Note that script only works for the feeds added to the homepage.
