Tampermonkey is an age-old browser extension that allows you to inject scripts and stylesheets into any web page, turning the web into your personal playground. We'll look at how to customize your CMS with DIY features, add "Download all" buttons to paginated websites, automate tedious processes like filling out forms and redesign websites however you'd like.
