BitChute.com Enhancer. Adds missing features. Makes you feel warm.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENT REQUEST
Please add a way to block only the Channel Image ID so the links stay on the main index but the images do not show. Instead of allowing the blank image to display remove it too. I do this with Adblock Plus now using a hot key via PowerPro so I place the cursor on the image and hit Ctrl-Shift-x and it does all the necessary keystrokes to add that as a blocked item. I use a * to replace the single digit decimal number in the image subdomain because they use a couple of diff numbers there, main 1 and 3 IIRC.
When the index loads the links without images shift up to the top of the "video card" where the image usually starts and it works better I think than retaining the blank image and having those title links lined up with the others. It also adds space on the index making it easier to avoid distraction. I probably have about 8000 channels blocked and a lot with just images too. First I block the image then if annoyance persists I usually block the channel.
You could add it as a feature and the user would press Ctrl while clicking the X and only the image would be blocked. Of course there should be a way to port the Blacklist and Image blocklist somehow when exporting the Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey scripts as an Export.
Right now the Blacklist is not getting included in the Export. Will you please tell us where it lives and how we might port it between browsers?
Excellent work! Working in Firefox60.1 and Brave94 - Broken on UnGoogledChrome89 on Bitchute Index Page
Used in:
Firefox60.1: OK (for viewing videos, bookmarking)
WF56: OK (for Bitchute Index)
Brave 94: OK
On the above I run with mods, making the X button smaller and moving it up tighter to the top left corner of the video card, I removed some of the shortcuts interfering in comments, I changed the name of the menu to XMENU.
UnGoogledChrome Version: Version 89.0.4389.114 (Developer Build, ungoogled-chromium) (64-bit)
UNMODIFIED script (and my ver with mods) Broken on Bitchute Index page (No Menu appears and no functionality) but it is OK on Video page.
The only errs I see are eslint for spaces and eslint for no curly before "if". I tried disabling Adblock, Stylus, other scripts, etc.
On some browsers with black themes the comment entry box has a white BG with white text but that can be fixed with Stylus or whatever and probably has nothing to do with Smartchute.
With Brave I have to use a command line option in Win7 to even see Bitchute's thumbnail images: --ignore-certificate-errors
It seems for Chrome based browsers there is an issue serving images from a subdomain possibly not inheriting the certificate of the main site url, for example Bitchute uses https://static-3.bitchute.com and https://static-1.bitchute.com for images and they don't display. There used to be a way to open one such image and add an exception on the resulting err page but I am not getting that now. That only persisted for the browser session. That all may be a Win7 certificate problem so I am about to update the root Win7 certificates as Chrome uses them and I am seeing a lot of SSL errs on sites.
In UnGoogledChrome89 Dev Tools Console on Bitchute index page it shows:
SCRIPT RUN TIME[SmartChute]: 5.593017578125 ms
Nothing in SMartchute attracted my attention in TamperMonkey Debug mode.
Export of script from GreaseMonkey to Tampermonkey for Brave and Chrome did not include Blacklist.
Is there any way to port the Blacklist?
Would also like to have the Blacklist menu default to selecting the last Added channel for when I accidentally hit the X button and need to undo and am not sure what channel I just blacklisted.
I cannot login at Github to report this because I closed my acct due to 2FA idiocy.
