At the top of my script I have the following:
// ==UserScript==
// #name Test script
// #description testing auto-update
// #namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// #author newbie
// #version 1.0.0
// #updateURL https://github.com/mygithubaccount/test/raw/master/test.user.js
// #downloadURL https://github.com/mygithubaccount/test/raw/master/test.user.js
// #match http://awebsite.com/*
// #run-at document-end
// #grant GM_getResourceText
// #grant GM_addStyle
// #grant GM_xmlhttpRequest
// #grant GM_getResourceURL
// #grant GM_xmlhttpRequest
// ==/UserScript==
Please note that these values are just for example.
When I make changes on the script and increase the version number on github and then push the changes to master it updates the raw script link, however I don't get auto-updates from Tampermonkey as in popups saying the script has an update. It will only update if I manually go to the link and reinstall the script to update it.
How can I make this auto-update with popups?
I am not an expert at userscripts, can only tell from my experience making TamperMonkey work:
In order for TamperMonkey to update, I had to copy&paste the URL into Update URL: on the script's Settings tab:
(Make sure ☒ Check for updates is turned on, obviously.)
Then if you manually Check for userscript updates on the TamperMonkey icon, you should see a proper popup.

I'm trying to use tampermonkey to refresh a website, its works except the server was busy, and the respond time is long, may i know can the script run before the page fully loaded?
I would also wanna now can the script work on any website without the #match / #include?
Many thanks.
// #name TEST
// #version 1
// #grant none
// #match http://busy.example.com
// ==/UserScript==
setTimeout(
function(){
document.location = "http://example.com";
}, 10
);
I am trying to make an extension using the right click menu. I noticed that the menu didn't display on the Chrome homepage because Tampermonkey didn't run on it. This is my current code:
// ==UserScript==
// #name Go to Website.Net
// #namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// #description Context menu to execute UserScript
// #version 0.1
// #author author
// #include *
// #grant GM_openInTab
// #run-at context-menu
// ==/UserScript==]
(function() {
'use strict';
GM_openInTab("https://website.net");
})();
Is there a way to allow Tampermonkey to run on the chrome homepage?
I have a tampermonkey script with this header:
// ==UserScript==
// #name Google News - Remove old articles
// #namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// #version 0.2
// #description Remove articles that already appeared recently
// #author AC
// #require http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js
// #match https://news.google.com/*
// #icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=google.com
// #grant none
// ==/UserScript==
When I am on the page https://www.nytimes.com/ and I click on the tampermonkey icon in the Firefox toolbar, this script appears. Why?
Because the page contains an iframe, and that iframe links to news.google.com:
Userscripts run in iframes, and when they do, they get added to the Tampermonkey icon at the top.
I'm looking for a way to make the function GM_addStyle add CSS straight from the #resource on my local drive (I use macOS). My goal is to speed up the development of this CSS file.
Right now I'm copy&pasting changes to Tampermonkey > saving the userstyle & reloading the page.
Not working:
// ==UserScript==
// #name my style
// #version 0.1
// #description a few friendliness tweaks
// #author thomas
// #match http://stackoverflow.com/*
// #resource my_style file:///Users/thomas/style.css
// #grant GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==
(function() { 'use strict'; GM_addStyle(GM_getResourceText('my_style')); })();
Thanks
I am having issues getting my script to auto-update. If I force a check for an update, then it picks up the new version just fine. However, I am unable to get this to automatically notify me whenever a new update is available.
My script has the following metadata:
// ==UserScript==
// #name PortalScript
// #namespace PortalScript
// #version 2.1.0.9
// #description Contains customizations to be applied to the portal
// #author Tristan Lee
// #match https://test-support.portal.dev
// #grant none
// #downloadURL https://rawgit.com/tristanlee85/supportportal/master/supportportal.js
// #updateURL https://rawgit.com/tristanlee85/supportportal/master/supportportal.js
// ==/UserScript==
Tampermonkey is set to check for updates every hour. However, the version in the repository may be 2.1.0.10, but after hours since the version change, I am never notified that an update is available.
I also don't believe #updateURL is necessary here since #downloadURL is specified, but I added it as a check since only having #downloadURL didn't work either.
