RE: How can I re-enable a blacklisted extension?Opera add-ons
At first, I wanted to re-enable Tampermonkey too. Now that I think about it, I wonder why it's been blacklisted. Who manages the blacklist, or is it automated? Either way, I did some digging, and it turns out that Tampermonkey has gone closed-source recently. This seems a bit alarming to me. I just hope that they aren't pulling a Stylish because there is no good alternative to this extension except for ViolentMonkey, which has a possibly questionable privacy policy. Nevertheless I have no real reason to suspect anything except for becoming closed-source and becoming blacklisted with no explanation, neither of which really prove anything.
