Userscripts are small programs created using JavaScript to change the page layout, add and remove content and functionality and automate tasks. Tampermonkey is one of the most popular userscript managers that come as a browser extension for ease of use. With this small tool, you can easily edit and manage your userscripts as it allows enabling and disabling scripts in two clicks.

Tampermonkey comes with useful features like a built-in editor, automatic updates, and a clear overview of the running scripts. It also supports script synchronization via cloud and Chrome sync and ZIP-based backup and restore using Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Moreover, the program always checks automatically for updates and installs them whenever available.

Tampermonkey is available for free download for a number of browsers including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Next, Safari, and others. Once installed, the extension displays an icon at the upper right of the browser, showing the number of running scripts, and clicking on it displays the running scripts on the page.

While it collects some user data for technical reasons, it is overall a good utility for those who want to work with userscripts.
