This is especially useful in the age of digitization, where web pages are often used as user interfaces for accessing a wide range of services and applications.Īdditionally, Tampermonkey makes it easy to find and install userscripts created by other users. With Tampermonkey, you can easily create, manage, and run these userscripts on any website you visit.įor example, with Tampermonkey, you could add a new button to a web page that lets you quickly share a link on social media, or to automatically fill in a form with your personal information. Userscripts are small JavaScript programs that can be used to add new features or modify existing ones on web pages.

If this is not the right place to post this then what subreddit would be appropraite? r/scriptsarebeautiful? r/discordapp ? I have uninstalled the extension and script (at least I hope I have). Sorry if this is not the right place to post this. I would think it's safe, but I also know that I let my emotions get the best of me and did install a scripting program in my browser. The code is open source and has been used by thousands of people. I installed the extension in an entirely new windows profile and plan on deleting the profile later tonight since it's only purpose was to delete messages on a old discord account I don't use. Now I have a new fear, that what I installed might have been a keylogger or won't uninstall or.

My fear of getting these messages deleted overshadowed my fear of having my old discord messages stay there forever.

I know that running scripts could be dangerous and that it would pose a threat. I don't know much about browser extensions or code. I wanted to delete all my discord messages and ended up using a 3rd party tool to get the job done. For some context: I created a new windows profile and installed tampermonkey and a following script to that browser.

Tampermonkey is safe to use or not
