Topic: Script development / Greasemonkey - performance

Thanks so much Descriptor!!!

What you've written is totally what I was thinking, at first I was mistaken about Greasemonkey, only when I created the script I realized that it actually uses JS to apply CSS to the page, and that's where the slight delay might be coming from.

I can definetely use it with CSS and I will create a Stylish script for that purpose as I'm only using CSS manipulation.

I asked this question also, because I wasn't sure about the "competition" between GM and Stylish ;) I thought it's about GM being more popular and widely used than Stylish, now I can see that those addons serve a bit different purpose and should be used accordingly. Nevertheless I still can see some scripts on Userstyles which can be loaded via Greasemonkey, hence my confusion...

Thanks!

Topic: Script development / Greasemonkey - performance

Hi there,

I made one script for Greasemonkey which basically hides unwanted elements on a page. However these elements get loaded before GM script comes into effect, and are visible for a short while.

This is not a big problem but I was thinking of GM performance, is this the same as Stylish addon? I would have to create a Stylish script and check for myself...

but the question I had was, what's the main purpose of GM? Should it be used for CSS manipulations? Or is it the field of Stylish?

....

cheers
