Source

Fork the project and modify the source if you want different behavior because… Well there isn’t some sort of settings page :)

Find these variables at the top of github-stars.user.js:

// Execute directly on pages matching one of these:
const activateDirectlyOn = [
  'https://stackoverflow.com', 'https://superuser.com', 'https://askubuntu.com',
  'https://serverfault.com', /^https:\/\/.*\.stackexchange\.com/,
  /^https:\/\/(www.)?google\..*\/search/, 'https://www.bing.com',
  'https://github.com', 'https://www.npmjs.com/package', 'https://www.nuget.org/packages',
];

// Otherwise wait for Control + Alt + G:
const isTheHotkey = e => e.ctrlKey && e.altKey && e.code === 'KeyG';

// Shoutout to Shields.io for kindly providing the badges!
const badgeUrl = 'https://img.shields.io/github/stars/{userName}/{repoName}.svg?style=social&label=Star';
