Easy-to-understand (probably) explanation#

Here, "script" refers to JavaScript script, abbreviated as JS script. It was originally designed or mainly used to allow users to implement various functions on their own websites.

However, for other people's websites, if we want to obtain certain conveniences that the website itself does not provide, or bypass certain restrictions, many modern browsers also allow us to install corresponding extensions to run additional JS functions specified by visitors, such as:

Directly downloading files from Baidu Cloud
Customizing complex Weibo pages
Removing video playback ads
Changing the default "QR code login" of a website back to "account password login"
Bypassing search engine redirection prompts
Restoring a fresh novel reading mode
Displaying ratings between Douban and IMDb
...

Different from the JS functions provided by the website itself, they are called "user scripts"; —— User Scripts - Zhihu
