There are a lot of feature-request's on Meta that seem useful. I've gone through some of them, and made one userscript to add some, or all of them:

In this script, I've made everything optional. You choose what you want - if you hate the fixed topbar (which it seems a lot of you do...), disable it!. The options are saved via GM_setValue².

The script

Development version: https://github.com/shu8/SE_OptionalFeatures/tree/develop (Note: 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 :))

Official version: https://github.com/shu8/SE_OptionalFeatures/tree/master

Please post any feature requests (along with their meta link, if applicable) and bug reports (along with any errors in console, if applicable)!

I've only tested it on Google Chrome - please tell me if you find any compatibility issues. You need to have something like Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey or Scriptish to be able to use the script because it relies on GM_* functions.

¹This is a flawed idea right now, it might call a normal user an employee (hence the tooltip 'possible employee'), but basically, there's a list of names in an array and the script checks for names and sees if the name is in the array. If it is, a star (★) is added after their name:

²You will be asked to set the options if you browse on an SE site without them already being set. If you want to change the options, a link is displayed (add features) on your profile. Clicking it will show a box for you to choose the options you want and save them.
