Visual Guide on How To Install A Userscript

can you download this on an apple ipad?

Hello. This might be a stupid question, but you know when you installed the user scripts on your pc if you then access the wanikani site or the apps that accomdate wanikani like smoldering durtles on your phone will they work on or would you have to also install them on firefox?

WaniKani third-party apps, like Smoldering Durtles, aren’t web browsers, so that can’t be installed UserScripts. Firefox on mobile, which is a web browser, probably can.

UserScripts to be used on a phone has to be installed from the phone. AFAIK, they don’t sync from Firefox for desktop.

Ok thanks for that :+1:

Hello,
I tried setting up the userscript to skip vocabulary reviews, but I can not get it to work. I did Steps 1 and 2, made sure that Tampermonkey is activated but I can not see any changes when doing reviews.

Does anyone know how i can fix this?

I am using google Chrome on my Macbook. Also I don’t know much about this kind of stuff so please be a little patient…

Hi all,

I updated the guide a bit with some new screenshots, clarified some sections and added some new stuff under troubleshooting.

Looking through the thread it’s clear that questions such as “does this work on device X or browser Y” keep popping up every once in a while. Feel free to update the Troubleshooting section with these, or create a new Q&A section. At least, I think people can make edits to OPs now, right? I’ve seen some broken images being fixed by others in the version history.

I’m just saying, if you feel like you can improve this guide, go for it!

Hi there,

I came back to WK these days after a looong pause, and I’m trying to get back the scripts I used to have. Thing is, I installed Tampermonkey and the Open Framework, but all my scripts (Open Framework included) are enabled but not running. It doesn’t matter how much I refresh the page, it stays the same.

Does someone know how to solve this? I’m using Microsoft Edge. Thank youu

Not sure about Edge specifically, but Edge is based on Chrome, and Chrome now requires that you enable Developer Mode to allow TamperMonkey to inject scripts.

It worked! ありがとう!(❁´◡`❁)

Do you have a suggestion on which browser to use for WK open framework + scripts? All my scripts stopped working in Chrome, so I’m guessing I either need to enable developer mode on Chrome, or use Firefox.

The choice of browser is bigger than just Wanikani, so there’s no single answer. I use Brave (browser) + AdGuard (plugin) to block most tracking, especially Google and Meta. Brave is a modified version of Chrome, so it also requires enabling Developer Mode to use TamperMonkey.

I used to like Firefox in the early days, but it has had a lot of compatibility issues over the last few years, and Chrome-based browsers (especially with tracking disablers) are much faster than Firefox last time I compared. But things are always changing, so take that into consideration.
