Greasemonkey Scripts vs Selenium
Developers should learn Greasemonkey scripts when they need to customize or automate interactions with web pages without modifying the site's source code, such as for testing, data extraction, or improving productivity on frequently used websites meets developers should learn selenium when they need to automate functional, regression, or cross-browser testing for web applications, as it helps ensure software quality and reduces manual testing efforts. Here's our take.

Greasemonkey Scripts
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Greasemonkey scripts when they need to customize or automate interactions with web pages without modifying the site's source code, such as for testing, data extraction, or improving productivity on frequently used websites
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for creating quick prototypes, debugging, or building browser-based tools that rely on existing web interfaces, like automating form submissions or extracting data from dynamic pages
- +Related to: javascript, web-scraping
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Selenium
Developers should learn Selenium when they need to automate functional, regression, or cross-browser testing for web applications, as it helps ensure software quality and reduces manual testing efforts
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in agile and DevOps environments for continuous integration and delivery pipelines, where automated tests can be integrated with tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions
- +Related to: webdriverio, testng
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Greasemonkey Scripts if: You want it's particularly useful for creating quick prototypes, debugging, or building browser-based tools that rely on existing web interfaces, like automating form submissions or extracting data from dynamic pages and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Selenium if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in agile and devops environments for continuous integration and delivery pipelines, where automated tests can be integrated with tools like jenkins or github actions over what Greasemonkey Scripts offers.
