This script gives me errors because await is used outside of an async function.
To fix this, I wrapped most of the code (starting from line 82) in

(async function() {
    ...
})();

Also, these patterns:

// @match        *://www.aliexpress.com
// @match        *://www.aliexpress.ru

are giving errors (at least when used with ViolentMonkey):

Bad pattern: missing "/" for path in *://www.aliexpress.com
Bad pattern: missing "/" for path in *://www.aliexpress.ru

They seem to be unnecessary, I just removed them

Hmmm, it seemed to work on my first attempt, but now it seems to be stuck in a redirect loop, once redirected to aliexpress.ru

It works great without changes :) Wow thanks for this scrip save nerves.

If I open a link from Google Images search and it is in hebrew, italiano or any other language, it does not work.. The links are like this: it.aliexpress.com
