Comments on: Still Don’t Think Greasemonkey’s a Big Deal? http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2005/05/23/still-dont-think-greasemonkeys-a-big-deal/ because technology is just another ecosystem Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:45:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: sogrady http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2005/05/23/still-dont-think-greasemonkeys-a-big-deal/#comment-695 sogrady Sat, 04 Jun 2005 18:54:44 +0000 http://redmonk.com/sogrady/wp/?p=439#comment-695 Couple of thoughts: DHTML != GM; GM packages DHTML and Javascript up in an easy to use extension for users. Just because the ability has been present for years does not mean that a new finish on that technology cannot be a big deal.

JavaScript/DHTML (like other downloadable/mobile code models) are a security risk that cannot be corrected. They will not be used widely because of that risk.
