Review: OK - script works, but has bugs

§
Posted: 2024.07.28.

ugh, I have a love-hate relationship with this script.
For reasons that I don't quite understand, it's problematic with a handful of sites.
It hasn't seen an update in ~6 years.

And by problematic, I mean without actively using this script on those sites to erase anything. Just by having the script enabled. I have to explicitly exclude certain sites (and all their dependencies from just this script, to get them to work properly (most especially, the problems occur during sign-in/login). If I don't do exclude, the login process either hangs, brings you to a blank page which usually means successful login, but I won't see a dashboard/etc until I exclude and refresh the page. Or this script completely fails to allow you to press the submit button. Don't get me wrong, other scripts have been problematic too, especially the link shortener types - the point that I completely disable those scripts. I didn't want to disable WebEraser, but I may have to. I'm not even aware of all the sites which were problematic, since in several instances I disabled TamperMonkey completely. However, some, in which I left TamperMonkey enabled, but found success in just excluding domains from this extension, were:

Chime Bank:
/^[^:/#?]*:\/\/([^#?/]*\.)?app\.chime\.com(:[0-9]{1,5})?\/.*$/
