// Known bugs: Must be logged in - #2 listing isn't always first visible, will have to work on further detection
// Changelog:
// v1.0 several attempts at finding actual sponsored listings
// v1.1 first working detection, horribly unreliable and depends on..luck basically
// v1.2 first reliable working detection, marks sponsored listings in red 100% of the time
// v1.3 first version that detects and deletes sponsored listings, then deletes all of the rest of the listings as it finds a new span
// v1.4 reliably deletes sponsored listings, very slow due to how large of a delay it needed
// v1.5 solid build of much faster script, no more delay - just lock in the original span for the listing we sniff
// v1.51 fix script running when viewing user store
// v1.52 fix script running on user store again (of course I only have issues when I post the script)
// v1.53 add adjustment for where a sponsored listing occurs
// v1.54 removed adjustable toggle, added logic to use last listing automatically from sort url sop.
// v1.55 compare sort option from div, url sop is default
// v1.56 removed debug, add toggle for debug UI, add languages for sort detection backup
// v2 aka 1.6 but it actually updates* few hours of testing, minor changes, freeGPT made it cleaner
