UTF8 byte-order-mark at beginning of files

[The-Compiler]

At least Github_Pull_Request_From.user.js (but probably others as well) does have a UTF-8 BOM.

This does violate what's documented in the Greasemonkey wiki:

Note that the opening // ==UserScript== and closing // ==/UserScript== must be precisely at the beginning of its line.

since the file starts with 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF before the // ==UserScript==.

This causes it to not work properly in qutebrowser. I'll fix this there as well (by stripping it), but it might affect other Greasemonkey implementations as well.

Assuming you're on Unix, you should be able to remove them all using:

$ find . -name '*.js' -exec sed -i $'1s/^\uFEFF//' {} \;

Alternatively (if your editor inserts them), I guess it'd be possible to move the // ==UserScript== line to the second line.

Hi @The-Compiler, all my userscripts are compatible with Tampermonkey, where the UTF-8 BOM appears no issue. But I'm happy to accept (most) PR to support other userscript clients.
