Brave Browser Unleashes Chaos with Custom Scriptlets: A Hacker’s Dream or a User’s Nightmare?
Brave Browser is unleashing ‘custom scriptlets’ for advanced users, akin to TamperMonkey. This feature in version 1.75 lets users inject JavaScript for ultimate browsing control. From blocking trackers to auto-filling forms, possibilities are endless. But beware: with great power comes great responsibility—and a potential for chaos!
Hot Take:
Finally, a browser feature that lets you become the wizard of your own web domain! Brave’s custom scriptlets give power users the ability to turn the internet into their personal playground. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility… and possibly a few broken websites.
Key Points:

- This feature allows advanced users to inject their own JavaScript into websites.
- Similar to TamperMonkey and GreaseMonkey, it offers deep customization and control.
- Scriptlets can enhance privacy, security, and usability but require caution.
