How to redirect to one of a given set of sites?

Question

I created a usercript to redirect to one of these several sites:

// ==UserScript== // @id fvhfy464 // @name [udit]redirector to yahoo or google // @version 1.0 // @namespace // @author // @description // @include http://yahoo.com // @include http://google.com // @include http://bing.com // @run-at document-end // ==/UserScript== setTimeout(function() { window.location.href("http://yahoo.com","http://google.com","http://bing.com") }, 4000); 

But that will not work.

(From the comments :)
I want to open several sites on one tab, one after another, randomly with a time interval of 4 seconds. This is similar to screensaver sites.

It can go on forever. To stop, I just need to close the tab. And I will install only those sites in @include that I want this script to work. It's like a screensaver of photos, etc.

Put the list of sites you want to display in the array. Then you can turn off the current page and either go to the next, or choose a random next.

For example, here is an ordered slide show:

 // ==UserScript== // @name Multipage, MultiSite slideshow of sorts // @match http://*.breaktaker.com/* // @match http://*.imageshack.us/* // @match http://static.tumblr.com/* // @match http://withfriendship.com/images/* // ==/UserScript== var urlsToLoad = [ 'http://www.breaktaker.com/albums/pictures/animals/BigCat.jpg' , 'http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/8105/bigcats34ye4.jpg' , 'http://withfriendship.com/images/g/33769/1.jpg' , 'http://static.tumblr.com/yd0wcto/LXQlx109d/bigcats.jpg' ]; setTimeout (GotoNextURL, 4000); function GotoNextURL () { var numUrls = urlsToLoad.length; var urlIdx = urlsToLoad.indexOf (location.href); urlIdx++; if (urlIdx >= numUrls) urlIdx = 0; location.href = urlsToLoad[urlIdx]; }

Here, the same sites were served randomly:

 // ==UserScript== // @name Multipage, MultiSite slideshow of sorts // @match http://*.breaktaker.com/* // @match http://*.imageshack.us/* // @match http://static.tumblr.com/* // @match http://withfriendship.com/images/* // ==/UserScript== var urlsToLoad = [ 'http://www.breaktaker.com/albums/pictures/animals/BigCat.jpg' , 'http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/8105/bigcats34ye4.jpg' , 'http://withfriendship.com/images/g/33769/1.jpg' , 'http://static.tumblr.com/yd0wcto/LXQlx109d/bigcats.jpg' ]; setTimeout (GotoRandomURL, 4000); function GotoRandomURL () { var numUrls = urlsToLoad.length; var urlIdx = urlsToLoad.indexOf (location.href); if (urlIdx >= 0) { urlsToLoad.splice (urlIdx, 1); numUrls--; } urlIdx = Math.floor (Math.random () * numUrls); location.href = urlsToLoad[urlIdx]; }
