You could fork it, get rid of the black lists and publish it on the Chrome web store.

It is licensed under the GPL, which was created for this very use case.

I suppose I could if I wanted to go to that very large amount of effort just to get that small amount of functionality. Methinks a userscript would be a lot easier.

I'd agree with your comment if I'd said "They should take the blacklist out." Instead I wrote that the title and github project are not up front about a core piece of functionality of the plugin.

Userscripts wait for the DOM to finish loading, though, no? Thus defeating the purpose of saving bandwidth?

They run at either "document-start", "document-end" or "document-idle". "document-start" is as soon as possible.

All it takes is a one-time developer registration fee of US$5.00 to verify your account and publish.

Didn't cost me anything to publish to the Chrome store.
