Tampermonkey by Jan Biniok
Review by flash
Rated 5 out of 5
by flash, 8 years agoLegacy extensions have been disabled now and that also means the way of injecting custom JavaScript into web-pages has changed in a major way. I've reviewed this extension a little more than a year ago when WebExtensions for Firefox were just starting to pop up more frequently. Since then it has become ready for productive use, as none of the issues I encountered last year remain. For that it deserves the full rating.
There's just one little thing to find fault with and that's the advanced editor. You're less inclined to need it as a pure user, but when writing or modifying userscripts, it has been helpful. For some reason it runs buttery smooth on Blink-based browsers such as Chrome or Opera, but use it in Firefox and the extended functionality keeps freezing the tab or textarea for short periods of time. The syntax highlighting is actually fine, but the JSHint-based syntax checking doesn't work nearly as well as it does on Chrome. This is annoying because it distracts from writing code on-the-fly and why I've started using a third-party editor to copy/paste my results over from.
Edit: a comment to another reviewer: the new tab that opens with every extension update is indeed annoying, but this can easily be disabled in the settings (-> Appearance -> Show TM update notification: Disabled -> Save).

- Rated 2 out of 5by Olcyx, 20 days agoDe temps en temps cela ralentit considérablement ma vitesse de connexion. Je sais pas pourquoi, mais j'ai l'impression que ça fait des GROS trucs en arrière-plan pour que ça fasse ralentir comme ça.

- Rated 1 out of 5by zer0, 21 days agoThis Extension slop is non stop banners about anything other than just use it. You can keep your stupid banners and non stop interruptions I will look for another extension to handle scripts that this trash spam.
Developer response
posted 6 days agoWhat banners do you mean? Tampermonkey should not show any. Maybe a script you installed shows those? Otherwise please file a bug report at https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by TERROR, 24 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by cba012, a month agoHas hidden Google Analytics and is close-source - no thanks. An extension of this privilege level needs to be fully transparent. It also begs for donations at an abnormally high rate.
Use ViolentMonkey instead.Developer response
posted 6 days agoThere is no Google Analytics; I use a self‑hosted Matomo instance, which is disabled by default.
The extension asks for a donation after two weeks of usage. A click at "I don't want to contribute" makes Tampermonkey never ask again.
If you see different behavior, then please file a bug report at https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17501884, 2 months ago数ヶ月前の更新の際、これまで作ってきたユーザースクリプトのデータが全て消滅しました。
あらゆるデータベースファイル、削除されたデータ等を探しても残っておらず、途方もない損失に嘆きましたが、少しずつ復旧させてきました。
そして今日、Firefoxを再起動した際、再び何かのトラブルで全てのユーザースクリプトが消滅しました。
もうこれ以上信頼を預けることはできません。ViolentMonkey等への移行を速やかに行います。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12859804, 2 months ago
