function remove_protection() {

        $(this).find('img').parent().next().remove();

    $(window).scroll(function() {

Try to click on the image first then right click and see if you have the "Save Image As..." option.

I just tried the latest nightly of Firefox as well as the release version 134.0 on Windows and OSX and the script is still functioning correctly.

In the latest Chrome you now have to enable "Developer mode" for it to work. https://www.tampermonkey.net/faq.php#Q209

You may have another addon interfering. You could try disabling other addons. Or see if it works in Chrome or Brave.
