No Secure Modern Alternative to Tampermonkey Exists
Developers seeking a modern, actively maintained alternative to Tampermonkey face a gap: new contenders are vibe-coded with critical security vulnerabilities including zero sender validation, eval execution in the main world, and unrestricted CORS bypass. The security surface of browser extension userscript managers is inherently high-risk and no vetted modern option has emerged. This leaves power users stuck on aging software or exposed to exploitable alternatives.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyPrivacy-focused browser users want a full extension kill-switch without losing ad-blocking
In a GrapheneOS-adjacent browser community, users debate a request to let security-conscious users fully disable extension support (since MV2 extensions are considered a security risk), while others push back that this would break the browsing experience unless ad-blocking like uBlock Origin were built in natively instead.
Browser Extensions Lack User.js Support for Power-User Scripts
Power users want to inject custom JavaScript into browser extension behavior to extend or modify default functionality without waiting for official feature releases. The absence of a user.js hook limits extensibility for technical users with niche workflow requirements.
Extensions Cannot Open WebView to Handle CAPTCHAs
Extension developers for a specific platform cannot open WebView activities from within extensions to handle CAPTCHAs. As more sites implement anti-bot measures, extensions that need browser interaction are blocked.
AI Web Agents Are Vulnerable to DOM-Embedded Prompt Injection Attacks
Web agents that parse full DOM content can be hijacked by hidden text injected into pages, causing them to execute attacker-controlled instructions instead of user-intended tasks. As production AI agents proliferate across customer-facing workflows, this attack surface grows significantly. Pre-execution DOM scanning for malicious injection is an emerging but largely unaddressed security requirement.
Developers Repeatedly Re-Explain Project Context to AI Assistants
Developers using AI coding assistants must repeatedly re-supply project context every so many prompts because the assistant does not retain it, wasting time and interrupting flow. The poster built a Chrome extension to persist context automatically, indicating enough demand to warrant a dedicated fix.
