Is there any compare between userjs manager?
Greasemonkey/tampermonkey/violet monkey.
Was using greasemonkey up until now, and thinking of switching to something different. Is there any point?
firefox 52
I'm on beta 55 Violentmonkey is better at handling scrips than tampermonkey and it's MIT licensed.
Greasemonkey is better than others but there is no webext version and won't be in near future so it's not relevant currently. Also they are going to use code of Violentmonkey to make Greasemonkey v4.0
To answer, some are more "future proof" and some handle scrips better, and I mean tampermonkey refuses to run my scrips while other 2 run it just fine. If you're on old firefox stay on greasemonkey if it works.

Greasemonkey is XUL-based which is a legacy technology for extensions, while Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey both use the newer WebExtensions, which are cross-browser and are both no-restart and compatible with e10s multiprocess.
Firefox 57, which will be WebExtensions from here on out, will not support Greasemonkey or any other legacy XUL-based extension.

Yeah I know, will stay on esr for year, then if needed addons won't get webext version, will move along to another browser.
Am I getting this right, greasemonkey working with e10s via shims and only slowing things down?
