Enable User Scripts

SnapMonkey uses the User Scripts API to run your scripts. On Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge), you need to enable this manually. Firefox works out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Scripts still not running after enabling?

Make sure to restart your browser after enabling User Scripts or Developer Mode. You can also try toggling the SnapMonkey extension off and on in the extensions page.

Don't see the "Allow User Scripts" toggle?

This toggle was introduced in Chrome/Edge 138. If you're on an older version, use the Developer Mode method instead. Check your browser version in Settings → About.

Is Developer Mode safe?

Yes. Developer Mode simply allows extensions to use advanced APIs like User Scripts. It does not affect your browser's security. Chrome may show an occasional reminder that it's enabled.
