Userscript loaders are fine, they don’t do anything on their own, they just load custom user-defined JavaScript on a specified website. Just make sure not to use Tampermonkey, it’s proprietary. Use Violentmonkey instead, it’s completely open source on GitHub.
That’s the first time I’ve heard that Tampermonkey is collecting user data. Could you please elaborate on that? I’m currently using it and will definitely switch if that is the case.
Oh I’m very sorry, I confused Tampermonkey with another extension that stole user data. Tampermonkey is still proprietary though, which was my reason for avoiding it. Violentmonkey works just as well, but it’s open source.
Yeah I mean Lemmy. I’d rather not install new add-ons when I’m pretty sure uBlock Origin can do this aswell.

Ah. Alright, definitely will switch to the open source alternative.
