What’s New

Version 4.5.0

Visit the GitHub repository for help or to report bugs: https://github.com/quoid/userscripts/

Highlights:

- In this release, introducing our new open source automated build and deployment process, where everything from the open source code to the app installed on your device is transparent and verifiable.
- We've fixed a compatibility issue that existed in visionOS (Designed for iPad) and you can now use this Safari extension in Apple Vision Pro, just like on the iPad and iPhone.

Changes:

- refactor(native): several significant improvements around preferences - #546
- With a new preference item, the logger is now disabled by default, and a toggle has been added in iOS and macOS.
- In iOS, the toggle is located in the `Userscripts` sub pane of the system `Settings` app.
- In macOS, the toggle is under the `DEBUG` menu in the menu bar of `Userscripts` app.
- The old save location will be smoothly and imperceptibly imported into the new preferences.
- Fully optimized storage and reading processes, eliminating potential kernel resources leaks.
- Only use shared containers and have updates between app and ext done auto via wrappers.
- In iOS, enable the feature of displaying the app's document directory to the system `Files` app.
- It also supports importing and exporting document content through `iTunes` or `Finder`.
- Supports in-place editing or viewing of third-party applications that supports file providers.
- This directory is automatically set by default when the app is launched for the first time.
- Optimize the first-time use experience, no longer require to manually set a directory.
- Retain the ability to change the save location and optimize relevant text prompts.
- fix(ios): improve initialization process make sure display document folder - #548
- refactor: update dev and build process and improvements - #560
- Some minor tweaks and optimizations to the iOS App WebView.
- Show informative text when using the default app document.
- Improved rendering flickering through min-height and min-width.
- Click on the current directory text to open the folder in Files app.
- Refactor the APIs append and injection process of user scripts in content scripts.
- Only parse UserJS code without APIs precode can reduce computation.
- This also incidentally fixes "Userscripts with quotes in their names break #401".
- Inject into page with closed ShadowRoot for better security.
- fix: correctly handle url containing hash but without search - #593
- fix: make the Open Extension Page button work stably - #616
- refactor: improve basic popup view structure and fix issues - #624
- ci: verifiable open source automated builds and deployments - #665
- fix: avoid potentially infinite hangs on async messages - #669
- fix: avoid potentially infinite hangs on async messages (revise) - #671

no data collection going on

i am new to this stuff but this developer is safe. i was scared ngl. you have the apple badge too. learned that all app store apps should be safe due to rigorous standards and scanning. i used it to modify a website to help me with school. i am also learning programming. i also read his github readme. i dont need to get tamper monkey for free through chrome installation. mac os appstore tamper monkey costs $2. minor, but still inconvenient. this is so good and i get to keep using only safari for m1 optimized mac. thank you developer. you will be successful. i hope you dont sell out when you make it big hahaha. you're so good :D

Good project, but feeling like not complete for beginner

This is an excellent open-source project with a simple interface and completely free. However, the software only has two actions for a certain script, on and off, without further operations. It should be noted that many scripts currently provide more options for specific web pages, such as the option to support single or double columns on search result pages. This software does not provide this function. I guess users need to write their own operations in the script, but for ordinary users, this is very difficult. I hope the developers can take care of beginners and allow ordinary users to further set up script functions on specific web pages.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. The script options page needs to be implemented by the script author himself.
But we know that there is a related API that we have not implemented yet, which may affect opening the options page from some scripts.
We hope to resolve this issue in the future: https://github.com/quoid/userscripts/issues/230

Wonderful

Needed this for Mac Safari! Just the tool to use to run Javascripts on webpages. Easy to install; easy to control; easy to update. Just works.

[Question: I have a red badge in the </> icon in the Safari toolbar. It's saying "1," like I have a pending message or problem, but I can't see anything. What's that for and can I clear it?]

Developer Response ,

Yes, you can disable the count in the settings of the extension page.
It tells you the number of user scripts matched and injected for the current page.
