<sub>Previously Stack Exchange Additional Optional Features, but renamed as per [@enki-code's suggestion](https://github.com/shu8/Stack-Overflow-Optional-Features/issues/42)</sub> There are a lot of feature-requests on [Meta](http://meta.stackexchange.com) that seem useful. I've gone through some of them, and made one userscript to add some of them. All these features are ***optional*** and can be enabled/disabled in the 'control panel' :) #Installation and requirements 1. Install [Tampermonkey](http://tampermonkey.net/) (for Chrome), or [Greasemonkey](http://www.greasespot.net/) (for Firefox) or similar. These are userscript managers that are required for this script to work, because they also provide support for `GM_*` functions, which this script relies on to save the options you set! 2. Install the script. **<kbd>[Development version](https://github.com/shu8/Stack-Overflow-Optional-Features/raw/develop/features.user.js)</kbd>**. **<kbd>[Official version](https://github.com/shu8/Stack-Overflow-Optional-Features/raw/master/features.user.js)</kbd>**. If you have installed Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey, all you need to do is click the version you want. Anything on the development version is not listed here, but it is on the README of the develop branch - please go there if you want the most up-to-date, but possibly buggy, features :) 3. Go to any SE site (eg. [Super User](http://superuser.com) or [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com)). You will be asked to set the options if you browse on an [SE site](http://stackapps.com/a/4791/26088) without them already being set. If you want to change the options, a link is displayed (`add features`) **on your profile** at the top-right. Clicking it will show a box for you to choose the options you want and save them: <img src="https://i.sstatic.net/nlcwi.png" height="100" /><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/BmfXp.png" height="500"/> #What features are included?

I'd much prefer them over there as it's easier to manage (and it'll help me learn how to use GitHub :P). Thanks! ##Changes Please see the change log [below][2].
