Ask HN: Is there an accepted name for writing browser-based user scripts?
deanebarker Monday, April 21, 2025The type of development I mean is GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey scripts -- or even browser plugins -- that modify and "hack" web pages after they've loaded in the browser.
Is there a name to refer to this type of thing? Is this an accepted or pseudo-discipline? I'm trying to find best practices around this, but it's hard when there doesn't seem to be a nomenclature around it.
