greasemonkey & facebook purity

Unread post by emninger » 2018-04-03, 05:45

I'm used to use facebook purity, but the newer versions seem incompatible with palemoon. So i used the option to install the corresponding greasemonkey script. That seems to work fine

Now my question: Is greasemonkey safe or does it open a risky backdoor into palemoon? (I vaguely remember discussions about that in the past - but i didn't follow, since i had no use for greasemonkey anyway ...).

Thanks a lot for any pointer!

what version of greasemonkey are you running? I had ver 3.8 on my laptop my pc has ver 3.9. uninstalled ver 3.8 only to find out that the current version of greasemonkey can't be installed on Palemoon. says I need to upgrade to FF ver 5x and says i'm running FF27 or whatever.

would the folks at Palemoon reach out to FB Purity to make it available on Palemoon???

This is the version of Greasemonkey to install on Pale Moon, currently 3.31: https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/g ... y/releases

If you are using a different one (the official one, for example), uninstall it first. About FBP, the script/Greasemonkey version works fine - latest FBP version included. I don't think contacting the FBP author for a Pale Moon specific extension will do any good, probably the contrary.

You should also check here for Pale Moon extensions: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/

thanks for the information. unfortunately when I follow the link I see nothing about downloading the latest greasemonkey version. the same when I follow the link on the extensions page. I'm not the greatest technowizard by any means, but the download is not intuitive.

if there is something i'm missing please let me know as I need to update two computers with this extension

thanks

What eskaton023 said, and remember to uninstall your previous Greasemonkey version and restart Pale Moon, before installing the new one.
