I think there's no way to get rid of ^M but hopefully with `*.bat -text` in `.gitattributes` it shouldn't be a problem because git won't do any line conversion on check-in/out.
This way the raw link as well as the file within the zip download should be in proper MSDOS CRLF format, and git status shouldn't report the file as modified either. ***fingerscrossed!!***

ghacks user.js

The ghacks user.js is a template, which, as provided, aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few ghacks user.js settings.
