Before giving up on my extensive googling, I thought I'd make a last ditch effort and ask here...

In Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera - it's very easy to write browser extensions using javascript (and some native javascript functions to each browser)...

I can't seem to find such an equivalent for IE. I've seen Greasemonkey replacements - most of which only work for very simple scripts.

Does IE9 or 10 support extension development using javascript, rather than C, etc?

I have a pretty large extension working in FF, Chrome, Safari and Opera that I'd be happy to support IE with if it didn't mean a plete rewrite into a different language, but I can't seem to find any sort of IE equivalent of a "content script" or "user javascript" type extension...

  • Try hitting F12. Same kind of idea as chrome console/firebug – robertmain Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 22:05
  • Wow - FF>> +7 years and I start my extensive googling. First promising result landed me right here. I think I'm starting to regret the path I'm on... perhaps I should try bing :-/ – SlowLearner Commented Nov 20, 2018 at 12:06

Update:

The old Crossrider project died a few years ago and the site/domain has moved on to (¿worser?) things. But then again IE itself has moved on.

But now Tampermonkey supports the Microsoft Edge browser.



Old obsolete answer:

It's not quite the ease of Greasemonkey or userscripts, but it's also more powerful. You can use Crossrider (archived link) to develop full-on browser extensions that work for IE, as well as Chrome and Firefox.

Crossrider is was coded with javascript/jQuery.

I believe that the only option for IE is to write a Browser Helper Object, which is a COM ponent normally developed in C++ but it is also possible to use .NET. In other words, it would be a plete re-write.

BHOs are a mess.

You can do some things with IE Accelerators. They are relatively easy, but not as powerful as Chrome Extensions. They are XML driven, and you can install them from your own website, or use Microsoft's gallery.

Here is a blog on creating one. http://blogs.msdn./b/sudeepg/archive/2009/02/22/creating-a-custom-accelerator-for-internet-explorer-8.aspx

It would be great, if the next MS browser would use some of the techniques Chrome and Firefox have for extensions and apps. My fingers are crossed.
