Installing Greasemonkey Scripts In Chrome
Instead of 'installing' User-Scripts I found many tutorials on the web to add it manually. All of them told me to do the same steps:. Make the directory C:UsersBlablaAppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser DataDefaultUser Scripts. Place a.js file there, which contains the User-Script.
Greasemonkey Chrome
Start Chrome with the parameter -enable-user-scriptsI did so - but my demo script does not do anything: // UserScript// @name Test// @description Test// @include @version 1.0// /UserScriptalert(0);What am I doing wrong? @brock I know you have that, but given your recommendation to use Tampermonkey, an extension that requires access to all of your banking sites information, your facebook, everything, the second answer is better. And as for 'vetted' there's absolutely nothing anyone can do to vet a chrome extension as you can update them automatically to do bad things anytime, and then update them again to hide this.
Greasemonkey Vs Tampermonkey
You'd have to vet every change every time. It's permissions to everything. Everything.–Aug 30 '13 at 14:53.
Warning: Only install Userscripts that you trust. Userscripts and FirefoxGreasemonkey is an extension for Mozilla Firefox, an open source Web Browser. Most userscripts are written for Firefox & Greasemonkey (although some work in Opera, Safari and even Internet Explorer).For this guide I will assume you are using Firefox, if not you should first. Userscripts run via GreasemonkeyNow that you have Firefox, you need to install.
Chrome Install Script
After installation (which requires restarting your browser), you are now ready to install userscripts.Now clicking on a.user.js link triggers Greasemonkey to pop up the script installation panel. Greasemonkey shows you a list of what sites the script will run on and ask if you want to install the script.Now loading a web page results in additional code (the userscript) being run.
