  • Tampermonkey will do what you need. It’s not point and click, but writing the custom script shouldn’t be too difficult for someone very new. You essentially just need to complete a find and replace upon page load. The %2F and similar costs are just ASCII characters in percent-encoding and can easily be parsed.

    I’m unsure what benefit you get from this though. It seems skimfeed is just trying to capture which lists and posts get visited so they can adjust the site according to popularity. Doing this via an exit link removes any need for cookies (which I didn’t check for, so maybe this ain’t what they’re using it for).






  • The class keyword exists for a reason and it has a perfectly fine use case when you need to make use of creating new objects. I think it may be disliked because people come over from Java assuming you need to define everything as objects/classes when we have modules and other methods of doing the same thing with a little bit less clutter. I recommend reading up on the underlying functionality and how classes and objects work compared to modules.
