'Activity' tab on profile as default

Question

Userscript to set 'Activity' tab on profile as default tab

When the new profile page design was released, there was a feature request to make 'Activity' the default tab. Because this got declined, I built a userscript that redirects you to the 'Activity' tab if you have not yet manually selected a tab.

• Install script
• View GitHub repository

Answer 1

The following performs better:

1. @match is much less resource intensive than regex includes.
2. Not all platforms support regex includes.
3. Run at doc start so that don't have to wait for most of the page to load before redirecting.
4. Use location.replace so that browser history is not filled with junk pages and back button works as expected.
5. All SE sites are matched. The redirect appears to do no harm on sites that don't have the new profile pages yet.
6. Runs on Stack Overflow for Teams.
