With Safari's version of AdBlock (and I suppose this is the same for all the other browsers), I can use its advanced options to block whatever I want in specific domains (or even in all domains), which allows me to remove AdBlock blockers, ads that AdBlock can't detect, and things that I don't like, like chats of specific websites and links that direct me to websites that are already dead, like Megaupload.

However, sometimes I just want to change a specific A tag text, or increase the size of a DIV tag, but that's not the purpose of AdBlock, and so it doesn't have that has a feature.

My question is: How can I modify components in websites in the same way that AdBlock lets me block them?

While writing the question, another one appeared in Similar Questions with that answer suggesting Quickscript:

However I tried it, and it doesn't seems to work with Safari 10.1, which is my version.

How can I change a specific A tag text, or increase the size of a DIV tag?

There are browser extensions that can handle this with ease.

The most common ones are GreaseMonkey (Firefox only) and TamperMonkey (which works across a range of browsers).

In your case (Safari 10.1) you need to use TamperMonkey as it works with Safari >=5:

Tampermonkey is a free browser extension and the most popular userscript manager. It's available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox.

Even though some of the supported browsers have native userscript support, Tampermonkey will give you much more convenience in managing your userscripts. It provides features like easy script installation, automatic update checks, a simple overview what scripts are running at a tab, a built-in editor and there is a good chance that incompatible scripts run fine with Tampermonkey.

Tampermonkey is available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Chromium, a lot of their derivatives like CoolNovo and Rockmelt and also Firefox and some Android browsers. It's installed in just a minute, so give it a try!
