Trivially simple script to automatically decrease the horizontal margins on the chat and video containers on hextube. By default both left and right margins are 15px per container. I set them to 1px for a 56px gain in chat and video viewing area. It’s free real estate.

What is ViolentMonkey?

ViolentMonkey is an open source browser extension and small alternative to GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey. It can run custom JavaScript in your browser for you automatically to modify page behavior. If you install the extension you can create a new script and copy and paste the one I wrote above. Always beware of installing untrusted scripts that you don’t understand.

    How big should they be? I guess I didn’t know they were differently sized. But that seems possible.

      With the css stuff enabled they look like maybe they’re half as big, would it be possible to make them like 75% as big or variable if other people want to customize it?

        Uncomment the bottom half (i.e. remove /* and */) and change 69px to whatever your heart wants. The way this works is 2 seconds after the page begins to load it will insert a rule into the stylesheet to override the emoji’s maximum height.
