    Wonderful and easy to use the only thing would ask does this application bypass goggle security as if so then is not worth using

    no, it does not bypass any of googles security features cause no javascript pointers are transfered from the unsafeWindow (they are stringified via JSON) and no access to file:// sources is possible when using GM_xmlhttpRequest.

    There are a lot of script that are working. I’ve tested Tampermonkey with some Ikariam scripts, a Pennergame script, Google FX, “Last.fm – Get lyrics from lyricsplugin.com”, “Download YouTube Videos as MP4″ and so on…

    This is absolutely fantastic. Why can I not find it on the official chrome extensions site? It’s not a complaint, just interested in the politics behind it.

    You can find Tampermonkey here too.
    https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=de

    There are two extensions cause some time ago the permission to read local files required a manual review by the official chrome extension maintainers. This review would have taken some weeks., but now the user simply has to check a option to read local scripts. Now it doesn’t matter what extension you may install, cause they’re equal beside the extension ID.
