In plain English

Bilibili Evolved is a browser userscript, a small program that runs inside your browser, that adds extra features and improvements to Bilibili, a major Chinese video streaming website. A userscript requires a browser extension such as Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey to manage and run it. Once installed, the script loads alongside the Bilibili website and can modify the page's behavior and appearance. The project is written in TypeScript and structured as a modular system. When you first install the script, it has no features enabled by default. You then open a settings panel that appears on the left side of the Bilibili page, browse an online repository of available components and plugins, and install only the ones you want. Components are individual features such as video download helpers, interface improvements, or custom styling; plugins extend or modify existing components; styles control appearance. Features can be toggled on or off individually. The README is written in Chinese and the tool is aimed squarely at Bilibili users. It runs in modern versions of Chrome and Firefox. The script declares that all data processing happens locally in the browser, nothing is sent to external servers. You would use Bilibili Evolved if you are a regular Bilibili viewer who wants capabilities the site does not offer natively, and you are comfortable installing a userscript. Topics include tampermonkey and userscript, confirming the delivery mechanism.
