On all sites when I run this script using tamperMonkey

// ==UserScript== // @name My Fancy New Userscript2 // @namespace http://your.homepage/ // @version 0.1 // @description enter something useful // @author You // @match https://www.google.com/ // @grant GM_xmlhttpRequest // ==/UserScript== var timer = 0; function test() { console.log(timer); timer = setTimeout(test, 5000); } test();

then I see in the console:

 0 16 42 73 98 110 ... 251 252 253

At the beginning of the big ID jumps, and then the rules, why tell me so? on locale machine all the rules ...

    TamplerMonkey also uses setTimeout .
    setTimeout increases the global ID counter regardless of where it was called from.
    setInterval also increments the ID counter.

     var timer = 0; function test() { ++timer; console.log(timer); setTimeout(test, 5000); } test(); // Увеличиваем счетчик id for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++){ setTimeout(function(){}, 100); }
    • Damilon tell me how to solve the problem? - bsbak pm
    • Updated the answer, note that the timer needs to be increased in all functions where you call setTimeout; - Robert Dampilon pm
