Tampermonkey is the most popular userscript manager, available as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera, and Firefox. It lets users install, manage, edit, and sync userscripts that customize web page behavior, supporting Greasemonkey-compatible metadata and GM_* APIs.

Use cases

  • manage and edit userscripts in the browser
  • enable or disable userscripts with two clicks
  • sync userscripts between browser instances
  • customize website appearance and behavior with scripts
  • find userscripts matching the current page URL
  • run Greasemonkey-style scripts with GM_* API support

When to choose

  • you want to run or manage userscripts across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, or Opera
  • you need full unsafeWindow access and GM_* function support
  • you want to sync scripts between multiple browser instances

When to avoid

  • you need the source code of recent versions - new versions are proprietary, only up to 2.9 is GPL open source
  • you want a server-side or Node.js scripting tool rather than a browser extension
  • you need Manifest V1 support for very old Chromium versions without using the legacy build
