New behaviour on install click
Glad my suggestion was implemented, the only problem is that on Opera GX I disactivated my tampermonkey extension, even though nothing changes on script pages, there's no modal/box anywhere saying I have to install an script manager.
Is this a bug?
Where should the modal appear?
The other problem of this is that Greasyfork doesn't detect anymore if I have a script installed or not, I guess this is a bug because of this implementation and change on greasyfork. https://greasyfork.org/en/discussions/greasyfork/91279-greasyfork-doesn-t-detect-anymore-if-i-have-a-script-installed-or-not

Seems like this may be the reason of the bug "Greasyfork doesn't detect anymore if I have a script installed or not".
@hacker09 If you ever say "install anyway", that choice will be remembered. You'll need to clear your localStorage for this site to reset that.
That doesn't answer any of my questions...
I can't find any "install anyway" button anywhere.
Where should the modal asking to install tampermonkey appear?
From now on scripts will never show the option "Reinstall/Update"? (This bug is very bad and annoying, I wish it was kept as it was before)
@hacker09 The modal appears if:
1. You are not using a (detectable) user script manager
2. You have not already seen it and pressed "install anyway"
Missing reinstall/update is a bug; I'm investigating.
Thank you for the answers and good luck investigating that!
When users install and they don't have a detected* user script/style manager, Greasy Fork will now show a modal telling them to install a manager. The exact manager(s) suggested depend on the user's browser. Hopefully this will make it easier for users to figure out how to use user scripts/styles, if they have not used them before. If the user has user script/style capabilities and it is not detected, they can click an override link and Greasy Fork will not show the modal again (as long as localStorage is not cleared).
* Greasy Fork can detect Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, and Stylus. (Greasemonkey devs rejected adding an integration to accomplish this.)
