Hey Buzz, I have a suggestion for your script.

By default, the Script works on *://*.imdb.com/title/tt*/* pages since that is the @match.

In my humble opinion, the ONLY page the script interface should appear on, is *://*.imdb.com/title/tt*. That is, the main page of the movie. Not so in the subsequent pages.

Let's take the movie "Living" as an example.

The script interface appears at:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9051908/ (which is correct).

But it doesn't make sense that it appears again at:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9051908/criticreviews/ (Metacritic)

or

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9051908/externalreviews/ (links to external pages)

or

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9051908/reviews/ (User's reviews)


Until recently, it didn't matter, since all subsequent pages had the old layout and therefore the script didn't intervene anyway.

But since a few days ago, Imdb updated the Metacritics and External Links pages to the new layout (and will probably do the same for the User's reviews pages soon). So now the script is appearing on the subsequent pages, making them longer, unnecessarily. Since it's enough that the links to Torrents and download or reference sites are on the main page of the movie.

I fixed it by adding the subsequent pages as "User excludes" in the Settings of the script.

But maybe it would be better if you implement it for all users.

It's just my opinion, if you don't agree, you can just dismiss it.

Thank you very much for your time and work.

Good suggestion. I agree.

You would need to adapt the @match string to also work for the alternative layouts, e.g. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9051908/reference. You could create an issue/PR on GitHub for that.
