Never underestimate really ambitious hackery, though! :-)

I'm sure it's theoretically possible. Like, say, create an HTML page
named something.user.js with a bit of javascript that peeks on
window.innerHeight and compares with a similar page which doesn't have
the greasemonkey pop-down saying "Howdy! This is a user script" and
similar.

Doable, but neither comfy nor guaranteed to work in the long run,
should such detection ever end up a problem for GM users.
