User:Colbydray/GuidesUserscripts NewStyle
Userscripts run in the web browser and make on-the-fly local changes to specific web pages. They generally change MusicBrainz pages to facilitate editing.
Note: A number of popular userscripts for MusicBrainz no longer work on Firefox 57+ and Greasemonkey 4+. See Greasemonkey#GreaseMonkey 4 incompatibility. Use Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey on Firefox instead.
Userscript manager
To run userscripts, you need to install userscripts and an in-browser userscript manager to run them. Although Chrome/Chromium can run userscripts without installing a userscript manager extension, many userscripts will not work properly. It is recommended that you install a userscript manager.
