violentmonkey / violentmonkey.github.io Goto Github PK

What is the problem?

The Get it / Get started page lists Mozilla Firefox as a Chromium-based browser.

However, Firefox is not Chromium-based, never has been.

How to reproduce it?

Visit https://violentmonkey.github.io/get-it/.

The main page has confused me every time I opened it, scrolled down, and clicked the browser icon to download the extension. Instead it just opened the png file.

I think a good solution would be to show the Get it page instead of "Supported Browsers" block.
I tried doing it with gatsby-remark-embed-markdown, but failed.
Maybe there's a better method, I just don't know.

As for the image links, the simplest workaround would be to use html:

- <img src="../src/assets/alternatives/greasemonkey.png"/> Greasemonkey
- <img src="../src/assets/alternatives/tampermonkey.png"/> Tampermonkey

Is there a handson simple wiki to wrote down violentmonkey scr ?

I understand that there may be issues with copying and modification (#16). However (assuming you don't want external contributors or have a CLA process), would it be possible to release non-JS components under, e.g., CC BY-ND 4.0? It's still a socially useful function to reproduce verbatim copies.

I'm unsure if CC BY 4.0 § 3(a)(1)(A)(ii) would require a copyright notice on every webpage from which the work is derived, but that might be worth looking into with a lawyer, if you want that sort of protection on a free license.

Also, if you do somehow want to accept contributions for the website, the Fiduciary License Agreement might be worth looking into with a lawyer.

(And a lawyer I am not. None of this post is legal advice.)

After learning about why VM.url does not work on Violentmonkey, I've noticed a lot of other bugs listed in the VM repo with similar issues and answers.

Should there be a section for My script works in other userscript managers but not Violentmonkey ?

This addon looks awesome, but I got the wrong impression from the FAQ:

Actual

Expected

I only noticed the detail for the clipboard FAQ because I accidentally clicked it. And I've only just noticed, while writing this up and figuring out what rule is hiding the arrows, that there's also an important detail for the sync FAQ...

This is the offending rule:

summary {
    display: block;
}

(I assume that the hidden arrows are accidental, since they're displayed correctly in a Chromium derivative, but I'm wondering if it's a good idea to hide the details at all, given that they address serious privacy concerns. I was going to write the addon off as dangerous (at best) until I read the detailed explanation for the GM_setClipboard permission (which I wasn't aware of in Greasemonkey).)

The blog has this article: How to edit scripts with your favorite editor?

However I found it quite confusing - it took me a long time to figure out how to get VM to sync. And quite weird - why do we need to be told you can edit javascript with your favourite editor?

Would there be interest in rewriting and updating it? Or perhaps writing a completely new article, and leaving the old one in place.

I was considering doing that - but I don't want to start if the PR is just going to be rejected after I've done all the work.

To give an outline of how I'd update it:

• Remove the "Hey you can edit scripts in your favourite editor" part, or at least rephrase it - I fail to see how being told that has any value.
• Update the screenshots where applicable.
• Be painfully clear how sync works.
• Include the @require option for local development.

Would such contribution be welcome?

And what would be the preferred way - write a completely new article, or change/rewrite the old one?

• "Guide" points to https://violentmonkey.github.io/guide/ instead of https://violentmonkey.github.io/guide/creating-a-userscript/ (which is where the guide apparently starts)
• "API" points to https://violentmonkey.github.io/api/ instead of https://violentmonkey.github.io/api/gm/ (which is where the API documentation apparently starts)
• https://violentmonkey.github.io/guide/ and https://violentmonkey.github.io/api/ both return an HTTP 404

This is my userscript, which requires 2 files being server by my local http server:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Readability
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @grant       none
// @require     http://localhost:8000/Readability.js
// @require     http://localhost:8000/Readability-readerable.js
// @version     1.0
// @author      -
// @description 18/01/2024, 21:46:01
// ==/UserScript==

let documentClone = document.cloneNode(true);

/*
    Only instantiate Readability  if we suspect
    the `parse()` method will produce a meaningful result.
*/
if (isProbablyReaderable(documentClone)) {
    let article = new Readability(documentClone).parse();
    document.body.innerHTML = article.content;
}

I've included some console logs in the Readability.js file, but they don't make it to my Console!

Especially why we can't read local file system

I believe it would be useful to have RSS feed for the Blog page https://violentmonkey.github.io/posts/ .
The posts there are few but all very useful and important, must-read.

If it helps, this guide says you can just:

• add the GitHub pages plugin jekyll-feed to the plugins array in the _config.yml file
• add this line in the head of the HTML file:
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Violentmonkey’s blog" href="/feed.xml">
• finally, make a link to the feed that is accessible from the page, like this:
  <a class="btn btn-rss" href="/feed.xml" target="_blank">RSS</a>

The title should be the title specified at the beginning of each md file.

Since the last update when trying to install a script by pasting the code into violentmonkey I and others are getting namespace errors.

https://violentmonkey.github.io/api/gm/#gm_info

It mentions info.script.resources, but not require.

I am thinking about making the source code of this website private, because I found someone copied Violentmonkey, changed its name, added ads, and released as a new add-on. What's more, they copied the whole website and did the same with it.

Violentmonkey has a license of MIT, so it's OK to be modified and republished. But the website is not.

The definition of document-end in our docs is incorrect as we switched from DOMContentLoaded to document-end of extensionTypes.RunAt.

According to MDN, document-end now means document.readyState = 'interactive', aka. the document finishes parsing but resources like <script defer> might still be loading. However, DOMContentLoaded only happens after <script defer> are loaded.
