function remove_protection() {
    $('article:visible').each(function() {
        $(this).find('img').parent().next().remove();

        if($(this).find('video').length > 0 && $(this).find('div.dl').length == 0) {

    $(window).scroll(function() {

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.
