I don't understand URL setup

[hirntot]

hi! thanks for this lightweight script monkey, that's exactly what I'm looking for since greasemonkey is too heavy for my small purpose. my script is running nicely when activated - but it doesn't activate automatically.

in the readme you wrote: "URL patterns to execute the code automatically." so I added '', when that wasn't working, I asked chatGPT and added ':///' and 'https:///', but after reloading the page, it never started automatically. What am I doing wrong?

Hi

The Urls pattern is one pattern per line.

• Execute automatically on any url which starts with https://www.example.com/.
• Execute automatically on https://www.httpbin.org/headers.

I'm sorry, there was a formatting problem with my initial post, due to markdown support. I would like to start the script automatically on every URL. what do I insert in the URL section? I tested following lines.

*
*://*/*
https://*/*
http://*/*

without success.

also, you wrote <all_urls>. won't be supported, but what would be supported?

The current Match Pattern implementation does not support this syntax.

If you are a skilled script writer, you can actually write it as a standalone extension directly, which only requires two files, a manifest.json and your script.

@muzuiget and how to apply it to iframe?

I tried to apply globally the rules

but they don't work

As I said above, if you need these features, just write a browser extension.

You only need two files:

• manifest.json
• sytles.css

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "hello",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "content_scripts": [
        {
            "matches": [
                "<all_urls>"
            ],
            "css": [
                "styles.css"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
