Userscripts

This is a collection of userscripts I've made to fix annoyances with various websites.

Usage

Install a userscript extension such as Tampermonkey for Chrome.

Add userscripts to the extension using the files in the dist folder. Clicking the "Raw" button on a userscript GitHub page may cause the extension to prompt you to install. If not, the contents of the file can be copied into a new userscript in the extension.

Warning: These scripts are intended for my personal use and will auto-update which is a security risk if you don't fully trust me. To avoid this, there are two options:

1. Configure your extension not to update external scripts. For instance, in TamperMonkey, set the "Update interval" under "Externals" to "never".
2. Add the commit hash to each @require within the repo e.g.

- // @require      https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matt-tingen/userscripts/master/src/netflix/index.js
+ // @require      https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matt-tingen/userscripts/63c7d92e60a940d997841fcc8f09be87760539db/src/netflix/index.js

Development

To add a new userscript, create a .meta.json file within src. Editors such as VSCode will offer suggestions for completing this file. The main property is require where scripts can be added. Scripts can be specified as:

• Absolute URLs e.g. https://example.com/main.js
• Anchored paths which are resolved from src e.g. /utils/general.js
• Relative paths which are resolved from the .meta.json file e.g. ./index.js

Use yarn start and the resulting dist/*.local.user.js files for testing.

In Chrome, the "Allow access to file URLs" option will also need to be enabled for the userscript extension.
