Golem - A Userscript Manager for Google Chrome

Golem is a userscript manager for Google Chrome and other browsers. It makes it very easy to create, update, and uninstall userscripts. All you need is to write a function, import the JavaScript API, and you can start to use it. For instance, let's write a simple function. This can be used for whatever purposes you might imagine. 

A very simple example is a basic calculator:

The source code is very easy to read, so you can understand how it works.

Another very simple example is a weather forecast:

A userscript that gives you the current temperature in °C and the forecast for the next 24 hours.

This userscript makes it very easy to get data from various websites.

The only thing missing in these examples is a reference to the source code. You can get this by installing the userscript into your browser,

and then you can go to "Script Editor" to find the function in the code.

Note that a user script can access all the APIs available in your browser, so it can also do something with your cookies or your location.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
