Compared to writing a full-fledged Firefox extension, user scripting is a very modest step up in complexity from basic web programming. Writing a Greasemonkey script is similar to writing JavaScript for a web page, with some additional allowances such as cross-site XMLHttpRequests. Greasemonkey scripts contain metadata which specifies the name of the script, a description, resources required by the script, a namespace URL used to differentiate identically named scripts, and URL patterns for which the script is intended to be invoked or not.

Scripts are named, and Greasemonkey offers to install any such script when a URL ending in that suffix is requested. Scripts can also access other web pages and web services via a non-domain-restricted XMLHTTP request, allowing external content to be merged with the original page content. Greasemonkey scripts can modify a webpage in any way that JavaScript allows, with certain Greasemonkey security restrictions. When users visit a website matching a script in their personal script library, Greasemonkey invokes the relevant scripts. Users of Greasemonkey can write or download scripts and save them to their own personal library.

However, this criticism shifted its focus to other addons starting with the 2006 release of Adblock Plus. Greasemonkey was initially met with complaints by publishers for its ability to block ads. During this time, a Greasemonkey compiler was also developed for converting a userscript into a standalone Firefox extension. In July 2005, serious vulnerabilities were found in Greasemonkey by Mark Pilgrim, and fixed in the 3.5 version of Greasemonkey.
