How to add new features to Maxthon via user scripts?

Extensions for Maxthon it's like games for PlayStation3: they are almost non-existent. Almost all Maxthon extensions are not extansions, it's just links and bookmarklets. But it's enough for me.

We will talk how to make your own extensions for Maxthon, but not today.  Today we talk how to use the browser if your usual extension does not exist for this browser. And I want to explain this with an example of the popular in Russia SaveFrom.Net downloader. You can use SaveFrom.Net Helper for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Yandex.Browser, but you cannot for Maxthon. On Maxthon Browser we have only SaveFrom.Net Download Button. It works via bookmarklet, but it's not full extension, when you looking for SaveFrom.Net Helper, you hope to find another things.
And what can you do with this problem on Maxthon? 

Our Chinese friend Lonely Atom and his extension ViolentMonkey will help you!

1. Download and install this extension from Maxthon Extension Center (wokrs only with MX4). If you use MX3 or early use this version of ViolentMonkey.
2. Open SaveFrom.Net → Install (in the website hat) and scroll page down. Do you see that "Unfortunatly, SaveFrom.Net Helper is unavailable for your browser"? It's all right.
3. Find the User JS point and click on "install the script". If you instilled ViolentMonkey already extension will automatically prompts you to install the script when you open script page.
4. If autoinstill does not work click on ViolentMonkey icon in sidebar, choose "Manage scripts" → "New". Copy your script from SaveFrom.Net here.
5. All done. Open any vidoe on YouTube and test SaveFrom.Net Helper. It works like in any other browser!

Where you can find useful scripts?

• UserScripts.org - very popular website... in the past. Now it does not work. And this is very big loss for us.
• UserScripts-Mirror.org - many scripts from UserScripts.org were copied here.
• GreasyFork.org - ViolentMonkey for Maxthon automatically searches for scripts on this website
• OpenUserJS.org
• MonkeyGuts.com

And do not forget about the official developers websites. For example, Sebaro publishes new version of SaveTube on his website first. SaveTube for Maxthon is my work and I try to update this in time, but MX need a few days for moderation.

It's all.
Now I would like you to show respect for developers. Go on ViolentMonkey's page in Maxthon Extension Center and rate this. It really is the most necessary extension for Maxthon!
