However, there's no guarantee when it comes to overall safety. The scripts featured here have a significant user base and have proven to be relatively safe. I’ve yet to hear of any examples where someone used them for any malicious purpose on here.Browsers don't vet user scripts the same as most extensions. But userscripts are relatively safe if you stick to the ones available on this forum. If you want to make sure they’re only running on wanikani, just check the top of the script to see if the pattern matches something.Īll in all, the only absolute certain way to not get hacked is to not use a computer at all. All userscripts I’ve seen have been completely safe, there is very little to worry about.įinally, userscripts are restricted to the sites they declare themselves to run on, which is always one of the first lines in the script. If someone in the community were to write a malicious userscript, we’d all notice and flag the post for promoting something malicious. The source code to all userscripts is also available. They generally run with the same permissions that any other script runs in your browser, so if you’re already using the internet, you’re not increasing the risk by that much. However, userscripts operate under strict supervision from your browser. In theory anything connected to the internet can be hacked, there’s no absolute guarantees in cybersecurity.
