After using my old Yahoo! improvements for a while I wasn't satisfied with the readability of the odd / even columns anymore. I decided that it should split up in the middle of the results and scent a nice chance to play around with CSS3.
The first thing I had to learn about CSS3 was that Firefox sucks in that case. The mozilla crew hasn't implemented most of the features yet but it looks still better then the old way:


The problem is Firefox doesn't support any column-break-* styles yet so I can't control the column break. In some cases it can happen that link and description get separated in the different columns. Nevertheless I included that style and hope it will work nicer with the next Firefox upgrade:

@-moz-document domain(search.yahoo.com) {
    #ygunav, #yschtools, #yschsec, #yschft, #yschasouth, #ygmalogo,
    #yschinfo h1, .yschbbox, div > p.yschftad, #yschssbx {
        display:none;
    }
    #yschpri, #yschcont {
        margin-left:0 !important;
    }
    #yschweb {
        width:100%;
        max-width:100% !important;
        -moz-column-count:2;
    }
    #yschweb li {
        -moz-column-break-inside:avoid;
    }
    #yschrel {
        clear:both;
    }
}

The greasemonkey script doesn't need to clear the odd elements anymore. So you should update it too if you prefer the new style.
