This goes for all those geeks who use user scripts on their browsers. Popular user script manager, Tampermonkey now has an extension for Edge Browser on Windows 10. They already have the extension for Chrome, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox. The script manager claims to offer features like easy script installation, automatic update checks, a simple overview of what scripts are running at a tab, a built-in editor, and so on. In simple words, UserScripts allows changing scripts on any existing website post-loading. The use case is pretty big.
So what can it do on Microsoft Edge?
- UserScript Editor
- Local Web management of all scripts.
- Enable and Disable scripts in 2 clicks.
- All GM_* functions.
- Cloud Access to store all your scripts.
- Export and import either through ZIP files or User Script files.
