UserScripts

UserScripts are small JavaScript programs that You! can run inside every website you visit. Here is my collection of scripts that improve my website browsing.

Installation

1. Install a UserScript tool, such as violentmonkey.github.io
2. Drag and drop the <name>.user.js file to the browser

The Scripts

Favicon Switcher

Script: favicon_switcher.user.js
Version: 1.0.1
Description: Favicon Switcher switches the favicon.ico for selected sites (configured in GM storage)
Features:

• Emoji Support to use unicode characters such as 🤓, 🚀, 💪, as favicons (via HTML canvas and data URLs)

• A menu to configure the icon for the current site (Hotkey: Alt+F,I or Option+F,I).
  The menu can also be opened from the UserScript tools menu using the Configure Favicon menu entry.
  Or can manually edit the JSON in the UserScript's browser settings (see format below).

• Preconfigured for docs.google.com so you can change the icons of all your Google docs.
  To also use it for other sites, add more // @match https://some.site.somewhere/path/* statements to the file header

• Settings are stored using the following format:

  {
        "favicons": {
            "example.com/**/1528803583": {
            "name": "example.com",
            "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Circle-icons-rocket.svg",
            "hostname": "example.com",
            "match": "/^\\/$/"
            },
            "example.com/rocket**/3917518474": {
            "name": "example.com/rocket",
            "icon": "🚀",
            "hostname": "example.com",
            "path": "/rocket"
            },
        }
  }
  

  All settings are stored using the key: favicons. The stored JSON Object has a unique key for every entry.
  You can use any key when editing manually. The properties for each entry are the following:

  • icon: an emoji to use as the favicon OR
    url: the favicon URL to use
  • hostname: the URL hostname to match (default: window.location.hostname)
  • path: the path to match (default: "/"; URL pathname must start with this path)
  • match: a regular expression to match against the URL pathname (default: ".*")

If you later use the menu to edit the entries. They may appear with with new (generated) keys.
