If you have multiple profiles setup for your google analytics account, then you may have noticed that when you choose a new profile to view you are sent to the main dashboard for the selected profile.

Well now, with this simple Greasemonkey script, when you select a new profile to view you will see the same report you were just on, but it will be for the new profile which you selected. Also, if you wish to compare reports from two profiles, there is an option to view the new profile in a separate tab.
