molokai VS config-files

Monokai was the name of the blog where the colorscheme was originally posted to: https://web.archive.org/web/20161107090516/http://www.monoka...

At some point, the original author decided Monokai was a good name for both the website and the colorscheme: https://monokai.pro/

A different author ported the theme to Vim, and named this version Molokai to avoid confusion with the original author: https://github.com/tomasr/molokai

First, the tutorial is simply giving you bad advices. You should not be placing custom color schemes in ~/.vim/colors. You should instead be installing it like a plugin instead. Color schemes are just a type of plugins that only have a color folder (e.g. if you look at https://github.com/tomasr/molokai it only has a "color" folder and licenses etc).

In any case, this seems to be little more than a slightly modified version the molokai color scheme, which is a much more normal looking repo.

Vim theme: molokai

I've recently migrated my HN dark theme to uBlock filters [1], as I try to lower the amount of browser extensions that I use.

uBlock Origin supports blocking search results, so I don't require an additional browser extension. I maintain a blocklist for myself, targetting Google and DuckDuckGo [1]. Feel free to contribute more websites or use this list as a template for your own repository.

I agree - I've been using (and writing) userscripts for an eternity. Most of them are public [1], but I don't know if others find them as useful. I like to enhance the design of websites I often use (like using a dark theme for HN), but those are rather subjective changes.

I wrote a userscript until a Dark Mode is supported natively: https://github.com/darekkay/config-files/blob/20b5858ff7a464...
