Tampermonkey Class Remover Utility

Lightweight utility for Tampermonkey scripts to remove annoying CSS classes that block text selection and user interactions

Quick Start

1. In your Tampermonkey script header:

// @require https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/sterlingjf/tampermonkey-class-remover@main/class-remover-utility.js

2. In your script body:

const CLASSES_TO_REMOVE = ['no-select', 'no-copy', 'unselectable'];
window.ClassRemoverUtility.removeClasses(CLASSES_TO_REMOVE);

Configuration Options

const options = {
    logLevel: 'info',        // 'silent', 'info', 'verbose'
    watchDynamic: true,      // Monitor for content added after page load
    observerDelay: 100       // Delay before re-scanning (milliseconds)
};

window.ClassRemoverUtility.removeClasses(CLASSES_TO_REMOVE, options);

Common Annoying Classes

Note

This list covers common accessibility-hindering classes. Use responsibly and respect content creators' rights.

• no-select - Prevents text selection
• no-copy - Blocks copy operations
• noselect - Alternative spelling
• unselectable - Descriptive variant
• disable-select - Verbose version
• readonly - Form/code elements

Example Scripts

Important

All examples require @run-at document-end in your userscript header.

News Sites:

const CLASSES = ['no-select', 'paywall-blur'];
window.ClassRemoverUtility.removeClasses(CLASSES, { logLevel: 'silent' });

Documentation Sites:

const CLASSES = ['no-select', 'no-copy', 'readonly'];
window.ClassRemoverUtility.removeClasses(CLASSES);

Social Media (dynamic content):

const CLASSES = ['unselectable-text', 'protected-content'];
window.ClassRemoverUtility.removeClasses(CLASSES, { 
    watchDynamic: true, 
    observerDelay: 50 
});

Advanced Usage

For debugging or custom workflows, the function returns an object:

const result = window.ClassRemoverUtility.removeClasses(classes);
console.log(`Removed ${result.removed} class instances`);

// Manually trigger another removal later
result.performRemoval();

Returns:

• removed (number) - Count of class instances removed
• performRemoval (function) - Manually trigger another scan
