I did it! I've posted an updated version of this script available here. The script is currently unlisted for some reason, but I have contacted the admins to hopefully change that.

This script was awesome. Any chance there will be an update for the new AMO layout?

I'll attempt to update it myself...could be a fun first script on US!

Once again, AMO has been revised and has pulled the rug out from under this script.

I have been looking for a script like this for a long time now, thank you!

It looks like the new AMO look and feel has broken this script. Any plans to upgrade it?

And while I am it (off topic), does anybody know why my punctuation marks propagate to the published comments as their encoded decimal equivalents? I seem to have this trouble on some sites, no trouble on others.

Thanks for the reply, JohnM. Yes, I’m trying to restore something I removed using a red x. When I look at the entry in about:config, I don’t see a value. I know it should be there, but the string value is empty. It’s possible there’s a conflict with another script or extension that’s getting in the way. I do notice that if I change the options for the TargetAlert extension, ACR variously does or does not recognize previously-marked extensions. I’m assuming that it stores the specifics of the hyperlink for each, and TargetAlert probably modifies that. Anyway, back to the main point — any ideas on why I can’t see the string value in about:config or another alternative for editing the list?

If its something you removed using the red x, you can modify the preference this script saves. I'm sorry I didn't make an easier way to do it. They are in a preference with the name greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://addons.mozilla.org/userscript/Addons Crap Remover.bad_titles
The value should be a line separated list(as a string its \n, but it might appear as a dot in the about:config window) Just remove the title of the extension from the value to show it again.

This is a great script which solved a particular pet peeve of mine — I couldn’t easily tell which extensions were new posts because of the clutter.

I’m wondering, though, if there’s a way to remove an addon from the list? I tagged an addon I later decided I wanted to see. I know I can get the full list back if I want, but what I’d like to do is remove a specific addon from the list. What’s the easiest way to do this (I am admittedly not a GS expert)?

I hate those conduits@amo. But really, I never thought of using GM script to get rid of them. Good work, John.

It should be persistent. It saves the extensions removed with the red x in a preference and reads from those and adds it to the bad_titles array when it is loaded.
It saves to greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://addons.mozilla.org/userscript/Addons Crap Remover.bad_titles

It works for me, but if it doesn't for you, you can always add it manually.

Good update - esp the change to the bad_titles array. Is the red x removal function supposed to be persistent [as it is not for me] ?

Updated:
-Highlights removed extensions when toggled to Show the hidden extenions(Clicking the red text at the top toggles it)
-Adds a red x to remove an extension
-Adds a has: operator to the BAD_TITLES array in the code, for example, has:Toolbar would remove any extension with Toolbar in the title

Well I have added almost anything that has the word 'toolbar' in it and those extensions that seem to update twice a day just to stay at the top of the list. You've done the hard work - probably best left to the user to decide what to filter.

If you tell me things I missed I can update the script to include those extensions.

Absolutely fantastic

I've added loads more to the script - makes amo almost usable again
