I love this, and wish there were a community browser that auto-offers the most popular JS hacks to fix UX. Similar this can be done for JS paywalls and to get rid of annoying newsletter and GDPR boxes without agreeing to them.

That's the problem ViolentMonkey and sites like https://greasyfork.org/ are trying to fix but as with many "community contributions" the quality is all over the place
I mainly use ViolentMonkey for my own scripts
it's super underrated I think, I customize sites quite regularly now to fix things that annoy me! Either to remove things, or to modify content so it takes advantage of a big monitor

here's looking at you, GitHub diff div

    document.querySelector(".application-main .container-xl").style.maxWidth="100%"
/me shakes his fist
As do I. I've never published anything on any community userscript website mostly because I am scratching my own itch(es) and find it suspicious that anyone else would have the same itch and yet want it solved in exactly the same way
There's a lot of people out there. Some might want things to behavior a certain way, but then come across your way and decide it's better, or at least, good enough. Sharing is caring
