How To : Greasemonkey in Opera

, , , ...

Great news!!! You can run Greasemonkey scripts in Opera as well (not only firefox). In fact...you don't even need to install the Greasemonkey extension (which obviously you can't do in Opera). Let's get started on this.

Start off by downloading a Greasemonkey script which you would like to use. If this file's name doesn't end on "*.user.js" then you'd better rename it so that the file ends with "user.js". If it doesn't, then Opera won't recognize and load the file. See the example shot below :



Now you need to tell Opera where this file is located at...together with all your other custom JavaScript files. You have the ability to choose any local folder/directory on your computer. In order to set this, go to 'Tools > Preferences... > Advanced > Content > JavaScript Options...' in your Opera browser. See the screenshot below :



See the bottom browse/file box?
When you click the "Choose..." button, you'll need to navigate to the folder where you keep your custom JavaScript files which needs to be loaded by Opera.

Now...ensure that you copy/paste all your custom JavaScript files to this folder/directory you specified. Once that's done, you may now restart the Opera browser and test the Greasemonkey script(s). Off course...this won't be Greasemonkey anymore. Let's call it OperaMonkey :D

Good luck and enjoy!
