What browser are you using that isn't just a modification of chromium/firefox?
Honest question. All i know about are only forks that basically do the same thing as the scripts try to do.
Sorry, I should have made my comment more clear. I didn't mean that I would use one of the big two before using the scripts but rather, I would use a fork that's officially maintained before I maintain the changes myself while using a browser that I know is trying to do things I don't want it to do. As mentioned on the developer's page:
Which I foresee as being an issue that something quits working but either you're not sure why(script/browser/site/etc.) or it breaks and you don't know it, allowing some background process that you're not aware is happening.
Rather than maintain my own alterations to a browser with anti-features, I by far prefer to use a browser(in my case, Librewolft for lin/win and Ironfox for Android) that is kept up-to-date and maintained/improved upon without my input.
