Tampermonkey is a closed-source donationware 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 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. In 2011, Tampermonkey was ported to Android, enabling users to use userscripts on Android's internal browser. In January 2013, after the publication of version 2.9, Jan Biniok decided to change Tampermonkey from open source (GPLv3) to closed source (proprietary). By 2019, Tampermonkey had over 10 million users. By 2022 Tampermonkey was one of 33 extensions on the Chrome Web Store to have at least 10 million users.
