Introducing Jetpack Support

Posted by Jesse Andrews on May 27, 2009

Mozilla Labs recently introduced Jetpack, a new way of improving your browser using javascript/html. I'm introducing basic support for Jetpack on userscripts.org

Jetpack lets you extend your browser using JavaScript, much like Greasemonkey. We are happy to announce support for the platform on userscripts.org!

I've written a Private Message Notifier for Jetpack and shared it. I look forward to seeing what you guys create!

As people add Jetpacks, you will be able to find cool jetpacks

Wow! This is great. But when will you support Ubiquity as well? Not to mention userChromeJS.

I was just talking to Aza, who requested that I add ubiquity as well. My goal is to add support for as many browser technologies as I can.

I love seeing what you guys create!

JetPack is the way to go, specially if they introduce more extension-like capabilities.

Though I'm still skeptic they will achieve the promise of doing everything an extension do... They better have a roadmap of development...

So Mozilla is finally building Greasemonkey into the browser? 'bout time.

They better be. Greasemonkey is not advancing in development very much.

How about versioning support for jetpacks?

BlindWanderer,

Versioning, screnshots, tags, ... are on the way. I'm working on some backend storage and statistics improvements first.

Jetpack looks awesome. Only time will tell if it replaces greasemonkey or compliments it. Cool that userscripts will support both.
