Personally I used Violentmonkey in Chrome:
But since Violentmonkey haven't updated from MV2 to MV3 (at least as of 2025-08-24):
- Issue #1934: [Feature] Manifest V3 for Chrome
- Issue #2284: New Chrome version doesn't support it
- Commit
196814a-
WARNING:
This extension is no longer supported on Chrome due to its Manifest V2 architecture. While a Manifest V3 rewrite might be considered in the future, it is not planned for the foreseeable future due to the considerable effort involved and the potential for losing existing features.
As an alternative, consider using Brave browser which is also open source, where you can install it from the Chrome Web Store.

I was forced to move back to Tampermonkey (which is not open source):
That said, TamperMonkey has support for some more experimental features/API's that Violentmonley doesn't/won't support (eg. GM_webRequest(rules, listener), GM_cookie.*, etc; Ref: violentmonkey#583, tampermonkey#397)
But if you use a different browser, or have different preferences, the following more comprehensive guide was extracted from the bvolpato/awesome-userscripts README:
To use user scripts you need to first install a user script manager. Here are managers for various browsers:
- Greasemonkey - Firefox
- Supports GM 4 userscripts.
- Greasemonkey for Pale Moon - Pale Moon
- Supports GM 3 userscripts.
- Firemonkey - Firefox
- Supports GM 4 userscripts and some GM 3 userscripts.
- Tampermonkey - Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, Firefox (also with support for mobile Dolphin Browser and UC Browser)
- Supports both GM 3 and GM 4 userscripts.
- USI - Firefox
- Supports some GM 3 userscripts.
- Violentmonkey - Chrome, Firefox, Maxthon, Opera
- Supports both GM 3 and GM 4 userscripts.
The most popular userscript managers are Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, and Violentmonkey.
Chrome DevTools allows you to save small snippets of JS code that can be easily run on pages using Command + P, typing a !, then selecting the snippet you want to run:

Pretty much my go-to Chrome extension for making GitHub way more usable:

-
Browser extension that simplifies the GitHub interface and adds useful features

Also a super useful Chrome extension for GitHub Notifications:
