'''Tampermonkey''' is a [[userscript manager]] that is available as a [[browser extension]]. This [[software]] enables the user to add and use [[userscripts]], which are [[Javascript]] programs that can be used to modify [[web pages]].
==History==
Tampermonkey was first created in May of 2010 by Jan Biniok. It first emerged as a [[Greasemonkey]] userscript that was wrapped to support [[Google Chrome]]. Eventually the code was re-used and published as a standalone extension for Chrome which had more features than Chrome's native script support.<ref></ref> In [[2011]], Greasemonkey was ported to [[Android]], enabling users to use userscripts on Android's internal browser.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> In 2019, Tampermonkey had over 400,000 scripts and over 10 million users. <ref name="manifest" /> As a matter of fact, Tampermonkey is one of only ''13'' extensions on the [[Chrome Web Store]] to have that many users.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
===Google Manifest===
In January [[2019]], Jan wrote in a [[Google Groups]] post that the new Chrome manifest V3 would break the extension. The new manifest would ban remotely accessed code which Tampermonkey is dependent on.<ref name="manifest">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The userscripts use code that is created by developers not at [[Google]], and instead is created by third-party developers at places like [[Userscripts.org]] and Greasyfork. This code is inserted after the extension is installed, however the manifest requires the code to be present at installation.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
==Controversy==
On January 6th 2019, [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] banned the Tampermonkey extension from being installed through the Chrome Web Store, claiming it was downloading [[malware]]. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. Later, [[Bleeping Computer]] was able to determine that a piece of [[adware]] called ''Gom Player'' was installing it, and that Opera blacklisting it was a ''"strange decision"''.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
