Awesome Userscripts
> On a side node, if anyone has resource about how to dev/debug userscript properly, I'm all ears. I found it super inconvenient and tedious when doing it myself, and I often have to manually copy paste stuff back and forth.
Develop it as an extension with the script as your content_script, and use web-ext [1] to run it. You can then develop in your regular editor, use your browser's extension debugging tools, and web-ext will automatically reload it when you change stuff.
Most of my extensions use a .user.js file as their content_script, which I can also publish directly to Greasy Fork.

Dracula Theme for Hacker News
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.

Ask HN: Let's build an HN uBlacklist to improve our Google search results?
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.

Awesome Userscripts
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.
