This guide will walk you through installing Tampermonkey on Google Chrome and then installing a userscript.
You do not need any programming experience to follow this guide.

📌 What is Tampermonkey?
Tampermonkey is a browser extension that allows you to install and run custom userscripts.
Userscripts can add extra features, buttons, automation, customization, and other improvements to websites.
For example, a script may add additional tools or functionality to a website that isn't included by default.

🔐 Security Reminder
Only install userscripts from sources you trust.
Userscripts can potentially access and modify information on websites you visit, depending on the permissions requested by the script.
Before installing a script, check the permissions shown by Tampermonkey.
If a script requests permissions that seem unnecessary for what the script does, do not install it until you understand why those permissions are required.
