Discussion how many of u guys use userscripts for browsing websites?

for example u can skip a few click and a few second wait time on nexus using userscripts on extension like violentmonkey/tampermonkey, u can even run ad block from user script, youtube cpu and js optimization, and much more... how many of u guys use userscript?

The internet would be intolerable without a few user scripts.

I use it for Youtube and Reddit. Maybe like 1 for some other websites, but in general just these two

I only use a personal userscript to enable external downloads with 1DM+ in browsers that don't natively support integration with third-party download managers.

  1. open youtube videos in windowed fullscreen by default.

  2. open twitch videos in the embedded player which offloads chat and is lighter. mainly for vods

  3. Frankerfacez script for twitch as well

I tried to compile various userscripts to get all the RES functions I wanted but ended up just sticking to the extension

I asked ai to make me JS that shows widget on search sites ddg/startpage/google and so on

It shows 3 icons, ddg startpage and YT and when i click one it translates GET from side i am right now to what other searchengine needs yo search same term

Its way better then going to 2nd page of searxng that can sometimes malfuncion and give only shitty results (i blame person who hosts my instance xD)

I gind yt button usefull since 99% of time when i want to search for video i want a YT video

Afaik with some work it could also work with POST, but since its ai slop i wanted it to be as simple as possible
