I made a lightweight userscript manager for Chrome – no ads, no tracking, just scripts

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been tinkering with. It's called Super Script Runner, and it's a userscript manager for Chrome.

The reason I built it? I got tired of existing managers like Ace Script being loaded with ads, spyware, and general nonsense. I just wanted something clean that runs my scripts and doesn't spy on me.

So I made my own. It supports Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey scripts (GM_setValue, GM_xmlhttpRequest, etc.), can auto-update scripts from remote URLs (Pastebin, GitHub Gist), and has import/export to ZIP. The UI is simple with toggle switches and tooltips. No ads, no data collection, and it's open source – you can check the code yourself.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas. If you're into userscripts or browser automation, give it a try and let me know what you think.
