Violentmonkey, an opensource alternative for Tampermonkey

If you look for information about it (edit: of violentmonkey) years ago you will probably find negative reviews, as it had an ambiguous privacy policy that generated many suspicions and accusations; but they fixed it a long ago, it is an excellent addon.

If you are talking about tampermonkey, I am sure it is a good addon. But it is no longer opensource. This post was meant for people who prefer opensource over proprietary as much as possible.

Nope, my whole comment was about violentmonkey. Take a look at this.

Interesting, thanks.

One of the things I used violentmonkey for was to redirect any reddit url to the old reddit.

Example

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Old reddit redirect
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match       https://www.reddit.com/*
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      -
// @description 10/8/2022, 8:20:18 PM
// ==/UserScript==

var str = window.location.href;
window.location.replace(str.replace("www.reddit.com", "old.reddit.com"));

I wrote my first script to redirect Reddit to libreddit https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/104795/Reddit-to-Teddit-Libreddit-Redirect-Userscripts
