Tampermonkey is an absolutely indispensable browser extension that truly puts you in control of your web Browse experience. If you've ever thought, "I wish this website did this," or "I'd love to change that," Tampermonkey is the powerful tool that makes it possible.
Its core strength lies in its ability to run userscripts—small pieces of JavaScript code that can modify web pages as they load. This opens up a world of possibilities: from adding new features to your favorite sites, blocking persistent pop-ups, simplifying complex interfaces, or even integrating data from different sources. The vast and active community of userscripts means you can often find ready-made solutions for common needs, or easily tweak them to fit your specific requirements.
Managing your scripts is straightforward, and the built-in editor, while initially appearing a bit technical, is surprisingly robust. It offers syntax highlighting and basic debugging, making script development much more manageable. I've found Tampermonkey to be remarkably reliable and consistently performant across various browsers. It runs silently in the background, only activating when needed, without any noticeable performance overhead.
For anyone who wants to tailor the web to their exact preferences and go beyond standard browser settings, Tampermonkey is an essential addition. It empowers you to make your Browse more efficient, enjoyable, and personalized.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Clemens Anhuth, 11 days agoSimply mandatory to help make web apps used for the job bearable.
Unfortunately not open source and complex, which may mean that enterprise users may not have permission to use it as enterprise IT departments are tightening their security policies.
And unfortunately, there is another extension of almost identical name ("Tamper monkey" which even uses Tampermonkey's icon/logo), which may trick people into installing the wrong extension. While I have reported this, I think the author of this extension should have more luck to get Mozilla to ban that other "fake" extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by user, 14 days agoUse “Greasemonkey” or “Violentmonkey”, both open‑source, whereas “Tampermonkey” is closed‑source.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cronodoug, a month agoIt would be wonderful if you could backup your scripts before a creator updates them andTampermonkey updates them WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION! I can't get the first version of a script anymore, because the creators of this extension must think that everything that is updated is better!

posted a month agoYou can disable userscript updates either for individual scripts or globally. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18921992, 2 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by NanderTGA, 2 months agoWell-designed addon, but I find that it's a shame for it to have gone closed-source 10 years ago. No thanks, I'll switch to ViolentMonkey, which I can read the code of and modify as I please.
