- sp332 4y agoWasn't this a casualty of the XUL addons being removed? The other monkey extensions were ported to the new Web Extension APIs.
- pabs3 4y agoGreasemonkey still works in recent Firefox versions.
- piyush_soni 4y agoIt does, now, but its developer took a really long time in porting, in that time TamperMonkey was developed and had really gained popularity.
- IAmNotAFix 4y agoSo it might actually still be the best choice.
- piyush_soni 4y agoIIRC, the developer initially resisted shifting to WebExtensions and then eventually (my assumption) half-heartedly did convert his extension to it, but in the meantime TamperMonkey developer got to it much sooner and worked hard for making it work equally well in both Chrome and Firefox. It is still not as feature rich as TamperMonkey and not even actively maintained anymore I think.
