Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

FireMonkey

  • Firefox only, and requires a recent one: version 93 on desktop, 113 on Android.
  • Not a drop-in replacement for Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey or Stylus. The project says so itself, so an existing library may need adjusting.
  • A much smaller user base than Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, which means fewer people have hit the bug you are about to hit.
  • No Chrome, Edge or Safari build, so it cannot be the answer for anyone working across browsers.
  • Combining scripts and styles in one extension also combines the blast radius: one extension with permission to inject both into every page.

Save to Google Drive

  • Cannot capture chrome:// pages or Chrome Web Store pages due to browser security restrictions
  • Full-page image capture often fails despite correct settings configuration
  • Authorization errors when saving images via context menu occur intermittently
  • Save as Google Document feature gets stuck on 'Downloading' for some users
  • No automatic file organization or categorization upon saving

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

FireMonkey: What makes FireMonkey different from Violentmonkey?

It manages user styles as well as user scripts. The usual arrangement is a script manager plus a separate style manager such as Stylus; FireMonkey replaces both with one extension.

The extension can save pages as PDF, Google Docs, raw HTML, MHTML, or images (visible or full page), with configurable options for each save.

Yes, under the MPL-2.0 licence.

Source
Save to Google Drive: Can the extension capture entire web pages?

Source
FireMonkey: Will my existing Tampermonkey scripts work?

Not necessarily. The project states that while it shares functionality with Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey and Stylus, there are differences, so scripts and styles written for those may need adjusting.

No, the extension has no automatic organization features. Files land in whatever folder you designate with no built-in categorization or tagging.
