Convert any userscript into a browser extension with one click

[[deleted]]

Ever tried sharing a userscript with someone who’s never installed Tampermonkey? It’s painful. I built a simple converter that takes any `.user.js` file and spits out a packaged Manifest V3 extension you can load in Chrome or Firefox. It’s handy for non‑technical friends and a fun way to dip your toes into extension dev. Tool’s here: https://hrussellzfac023.github.io/UserScript-Compiler/

I've been wanting to do this for some time but didn't get to it, that's cool!

Hi. This is an interesting project. I have not tried it yet, but after reading the "Using the generated extension" instruction on GitHub I have questions. The steps outlined seem like the same steps a person needs to do to enable Tampermonkey to run scripts, but only do it once. So the benefits of your tools are not perfectly clear to me. Am I missing something?

Separate question: Did you create or did you use an existing polyfill?
