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. [2]
Users of Greasemonkey can write or download scripts and save them to their own personal library. When users visit a website matching a script in their personal script library, Greasemonkey invokes the relevant scripts. Greasemonkey scripts can modify a webpage in any way that JavaScript allows, with certain Greasemonkey security restrictions.
Metadata can also include information that is useful to the user such as the script's name, author, description and version number. Popular userscript managers include Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey, and Violentmonkey. The Gear browser for IOS has a userscript manager built in.
