I've written scripts to filter out threads and posts in a programming forum by author.

But you need to post the code into the web console for each page individually.

I was wondering if it were possible and if so how (using either firefox or chrome), to set your browser up to run a specific script upon loading a specific site? Is it possible as an extension or plugin?

Greasemonkey for Firefox:

Allows you to customize the way a web page displays or behaves, by using small bits of JavaScript.
