Hey Guys, It's me SaadMaqsood ๐๐ป♂️ and today we’re diving deep into something that feels like giving your browser actual superpowers ๐ป⚡. I’m talking about Tampermonkey ๐ — the secret sauce that lets you bend the internet the way YOU want it to be. Imagine scrolling YouTube without ads, making Instagram auto-scroll for you, or adding instant download buttons to websites that normally try to hide them ๐. Sounds wild, right? But here’s the truth: Tampermonkey makes this so easy that even if you’ve never coded before, you can still copy-paste scripts and transform your browsing life ๐ฅ.
The web isn’t built with your comfort in mind — it’s built to keep you engaged, distracted, and monetized ๐ . With Tampermonkey, YOU flip that power dynamic and start customizing the web like it’s your personal playground ๐ข. Today I’ll show you how to install it, run your first scripts, and even give you some fun + useful ready-made examples that you can test right now ๐. Stick around till the end because I’ll also drop links to trusted sources and some pro tips to stay safe ✨.
Why Tampermonkey is used?
Tampermonkey isn’t just another “techy extension.” It’s like cheat codes for the web ๐ฎ. Once you install it, you unlock a whole hidden world of possibilities:
- ๐ซ Skip annoying ads, banners, and popups
- ๐ฅ Add instant download buttons for videos, images, and PDFs
- ⚡ Auto-click buttons (perfect for ticket queues, sales drops, or daily login rewards)
- ๐ Tweak websites for fun (swap text with memes, flip images upside down, etc.)
- ๐ Refresh exam result pages automatically until the results drop
- ๐ Autofill boring forms in seconds
- ๐ง Add extra controls like playback speed sliders to Netflix, Spotify web, or Prime Video
- ๐ Remove distracting elements like YouTube recommendations or Twitter trends (focus mode unlocked ๐)
Basically, it takes everyday internet struggles and turns them into smooth hacks that save you time ⏳, energy ๐ก, and sanity ๐

๐ข Step-by-Step Guide to Using Tampermonkey
1️⃣ Install Tampermonkey
First, you need the extension itself. Tampermonkey works on most major browsers:
- ๐ Chrome Web Store
- ๐ฆ Firefox Add-ons
- ๐ฆ Microsoft Edge Add-ons
- ๐ฆ Brave → use the Chrome Web Store link
Once installed, you’ll see a little ๐ icon in your browser toolbar. That’s your new control center.
2️⃣ Write Your First Script
Click the ๐ icon → “Create a new script” → Paste the following code → Save ✅
// ==UserScript==
// @name Auto Skip YouTube Ads ⏭️
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 1.0
// @description Automatically skip ads on YouTube without clicking
// @author SaadMaqsood
// @match *://*.youtube.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
setInterval(() => {
const skipBtn = document.querySelector('.ytp-ad-skip-button');
if (skipBtn) {
skipBtn.click();
console.log("⏭️ Ad skipped!");
}
}, 1000);
})();
๐ก Explanation: This script keeps checking for the “Skip Ad” button every second. When it finds it, it clicks it for you automatically. No more waiting ⏳.
3️⃣ Fun Script: Flip All Images Upside Down ๐
If you want something purely funny to prank yourself or friends, try this:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Flip All Images ๐
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 1.0
// @description Turns every image on a website upside down
// @author You
// @match *://*/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
const style = document.createElement('style');
style.innerHTML = 'img { transform: rotate(180deg) !important; }';
document.head.appendChild(style);
})();
⚠️ Warning: This will affect every site you visit, so don’t forget to disable it unless you enjoy upside-down memes ๐คก.
4️⃣ Useful Script: Autofill Forms ✍️
// ==UserScript==
// @name Auto Fill My Info ๐
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 1.0
// @description Autofills your name + email on forms
// @author You
// @match *://*/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
const nameField = document.querySelector('input[name="name"]');
const emailField = document.querySelector('input[name="email"]');
if (nameField) nameField.value = "Saad Maqsood";
if (emailField) emailField.value = "youremail@example.com";
});
})();
