< Feedback on Google Hit Hider by Domain (Search Filter / Block Sites)
I just found it today after searching fruitlessly for some time (ironically it appears such scripts are themselves filtered out / blocked by the search engines themselves...).
Thank you, sir!
Updated stats:
1/1/2014-3/31/2014: estimated 7,642 new and upgrade installations
4/1/2014-6/30/2014: estimated 3,400 new and upgrade installations
7/1/2014-9/30/2014: estimated 3,619 new and upgrade installations
10/1/2014-12/31/2014: estimated 3,422 new and upgrade installations
(To try to avoid counting duplicates, additional installations during the same quarter from the same IP address of the same version on the same browser brand are ignored. I cannot identify unique users or browsers so this is simply an estimate.)
How many people use this script?
It is a difficult question to answer, since you do not need to register to use the script. Upon installation or first run, the script makes a request to my webserver for a file (either an image or a script). I keep track of those requests.
This is the information I have for 2014, for installations from Greasy Fork, OpenUserJS, and userscripts.org combined:
1/1/2014-3/31/2014: estimated 7,642 new and upgrade installations
4/1/2014-6/30/2014: estimated 3,400 new and upgrade installations
Many sites have links to this script on userscripts.org. Since those broke in early May, that might explain the significant drop in installations.
