Some that haven't been mentioned yet:
- Behind The Overlay (removes simple login banners/paywalls/anything that blocks the content)
- Don't Fuck With Paste (for those sites that think it's fun to override or even disable copy and/or paste)

Stop suggesting Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey. Tampermonkey is proprietary and steals user data, and Greasemonkey hasn't been updated since 2021. Use Violentmonkey, it's completely FOSS and up-to-date.
-
Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks!

No problem. Unfortunately Tampermonkey is recommended in many articles, guides, blog posts, etc. because people are unaware of what it does. Violentmonkey should be far more popular, so users stop downloading proprietary crap, simply because it's the best known userscript extension.

Hey I'm also using Violentmonkey and always recommend it over other options. But your comment got me wondering and I've checked. Turns out Greasemonkey actually dropped a new version a month ago. Not that this changes anything for me, just wanted to correct the statement.
-
I'm certain that I saw somewhere that the last update was from January 2021, I can't find that anymore though, my bad.
-
No need to look for it, the changelog is right at the website and previous update was indeed in 2021.
-
Exactly, I saw that on their website.

Which greasemonkey scripts do you use? I've never used it but have heard it's a good one to have (also, it's been recommended several times on here)
-
If you want to use userscripts, definitely install Violentmonkey instead of Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey, as Tampermonkey is proprietary and steals user data and Greasemonkey hasn't been updated in years

Thank you - I love how it can look at the site and suggest scripts - and you can't go wrong with Opensource. Thank you.
