Usually Greasemonkey scripts work with the DOM and jQuery is the best way to do that. So, no wonder you'll want to include jQuery into your custom scripts. Here are 3 ways to include jQuery library into your user script.
If you are targeting for Greasemonkey 0.8.0+ you can use @require. It runs once when the script is being installed, hence downloaded once. This is preferred and most efficient way to add jQuery.
// ==UserScript== // @name My jQuery Test // @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js // ==/UserScript== // Do your magic here $(".ads").remove();If you are developing for older versions of Greasemonkey you have 2 options. Either add the whole jQuery library code into your Greasemonkey script file or dynamically add a
<script>
tag to the page.

One more way to add jQuery is by attaching
<script>
tag to the document. You can read more about it and grab the code here.Don't forget to check if jQuery is already loaded
if (unsafeWindow.jQuery === undefined) { // jQuery is NOT loaded } else { // jQuery is already loaded }
