Stop suggesting Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey. Tampermonkey is proprietary and steals user data, and Greasemonkey hasn't been updated since 2021. Use Violentmonkey, it's completely FOSS and up-to-date.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks!

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

No problem. Unfortunately Tampermonkey is recommended in many articles, guides, blog posts, etc. because people are unaware of what it does. Violentmonkey should be far more popular, so users stop downloading proprietary crap, simply because it's the best known userscript extension.

Hey I'm also using Violentmonkey and always recommend it over other options. But your comment got me wondering and I've checked. Turns out Greasemonkey actually dropped a new version a month ago. Not that this changes anything for me, just wanted to correct the statement.

I'm certain that I saw somewhere that the last update was from January 2021, I can't find that anymore though, my bad.

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

No need to look for it, the changelog is right at the website and previous update was indeed in 2021.

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Exactly, I saw that on their website.
