Of course. Here is a direct, factual comparison between the two scripts.

The Greasy Fork version ("XMaster") is considered "clean" because it only contains code related to enhancing Twitter/X and TikTok.

The OpenUserJS version ("Twitter(X)ᴾˡᵘˢ+++") contains that same code, but also includes additional, unrelated code designed to inject the author's referral links on hundreds of shopping, travel, and financial websites.

Direct Comparison: OpenUserJS vs. Greasy Fork

Point of Comparison OpenUserJS Version (Twitter(X)ᴾˡᵘˢ+++...) Greasy Fork Version (XMaster)
Purpose & Scope Enhances Twitter/X and YouTube, but also has a hidden function to inject referral links on other sites for monetization. Strictly enhances Twitter/X and TikTok only.
Website Access (@include) Has a massive @include list for hundreds of e-commerce and service sites like Amazon, eBay, Walmart, AliExpress, Booking.com, Binance, etc. This gives it permission to run nearly everywhere. Is strictly limited to x.com, twitter.com, and tiktok.com. It has no permission to run on any shopping sites.
External Communication (@connect) Yes. It connects to oversea.mimixiaoke.com. This is used to fetch instructions and the referral codes that it injects into links. No. It has no @connect permissions and does not communicate with any external servers.
Referral Link Code Yes. It contains a specific block of code (the OverseaNavigation object) whose sole purpose is to find links on web pages and add the author's referral tracking codes to them. No. This entire block of code has been completely removed. The script has no ability to modify links.
Author's Declaration Yes. It correctly includes the @antifeature referral-link tag, admitting that this functionality is present. No. The tag is removed because the referral functionality has been removed.

Summary of Differences

  • The OpenUserJS version is a multi-purpose script with a hidden monetization feature. To achieve this, it requires extensive, privacy-invasive permissions to access almost every major e-commerce site you visit and sends data to an external server.

  • The Greasy Fork version is a focused tool. It has been stripped of the referral code, the excessive permissions, and the external server connection. Its functionality is restricted only to the sites it claims to enhance (Twitter/X and TikTok).

Therefore, the "XMaster" script from Greasy Fork is considered clean because it only contains the code necessary for its advertised features, without the unrelated referral link functionality.
