"Quit complaining about 0.9.0 here Rated 5 out of 5 stars by Mike Medley on January 23, 2011 # First of all, don't complain here. Reviews are one sided and we can't help you here. Join the Greasemonkey users group: http://groups.google.com/group/greasemonkey-users/ As one of the devs who helped get rid of the old manager, I felt the old manager to be clunky. The new manager is much more simple and streamlined. It also fits in better with the rest of Firefox. Many people just hate change. Every time Facebook changes its layout millions of people create groups to complain about everything that is wrong with what has changed and how it should just go back to what it was like before. GM has had essentially the same script manager since its inception so it makes sense that many people would hate the new one. If you really don't like the new manager, and are willing to ignore all of the improvements in this and future versions, sure go back and use the old version. No one is forcing you to update. But myself and the other devs are going to work to improve GM not maintain the status quo, so please refrain from making useless negative reviews in protest. Either go to the group I posted above and give us constructive criticism on how we could make the new manager better, or keep using the old version and go back to your cave. The number of people writing reviews to complain about the lack of being able to change the @includes/@excludes is disproportional to the number of people who don't use that functionality often or at all. Most users just install scripts verbatim and don't mess with anything. One tactic I suggest is that you also contact the creator of the script to change the rules for you. You can still changes these rules in the Metadata of the actual script. Just click the edit button in the manager. If you're in Firefox 4, just right click the script. Once you've changed the script, you just refresh the page. The new rules will take into effect. For syntax details see here: http://wiki.greasespot.net/Metadata_Block#.40include The result of many scripts(actually I doubt there are many) breaking is due to two factors. One is that we have a weird bug that makes eval stop working. We are currently trying to identify and fix that issue. The second is that these scripts that break are poorly written. There are incredibly few instances where the use of eval is valid. As for incompatibly with All-in-One-Sidebar, we are aware of this and have a ticket open, just as we have tickets open for other issue with 0.9.0: https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/labels/affects-0.9.0"; --- http://groups.google.com/group/greasemonkey-users/browse_thread/thread/ac306775cb95974b Read Dave Land's post, Feb 7, 6:31 pm, A more calm, pleasant and polite post you would be hard to find, but the response is : "The tone of your message was overly adversarial, and that's not helpful. We're all volunteers here, cheerfully giving away our time and asking nothing in return. " --- Cheers.
