Easier Way to Remove Favourites
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been suggested before, but I think that when you press the ‘View all’ button on the favourites section of your profile page, you can press an ‘x’ on the top right of each project thumbnail to remove it as a favourite. It would work just like it does in studios where the ‘x’ appears only when your mouse hovers over a project. This would make it easier to manage clutter on profile pages and shouldn't be too hard for ST to implement.
What it would look like:

Edit: Some people want extra protection against accidentally deleting their favourites so maybe make it so you have to click the ‘x’ twice to delete it and one click highlights it or something then two deletes it.

Support, if a warning dialog is added, so users wouldn't unfavorite a project by accident. :S

Support if the dialogue that should appear also has a “undo” button so you can easily undo the action.

I wouldn't support a dialog because then its just as tedious as going to the project to unfavorite it. An undo button might work but I was thinking make it so you have to click the x twice to remove it.

Half-support. (Count that as a non-supporter, and a supporter.) This only saves 2 clicks. But I guess it wouldn't do any harm to add it in. EDIT: Along with the warning dialog, this only saves 1 click.

the dialogue I was thinking of is the kind of green thing that says “Changes saved” that appears at the top of the screen when you edit the project/profile description.Support, if a warning dialog is added, so users wouldn't unfavorite a project by accident. :SSupport if the dialogue that should appear also has a “undo” button so you can easily undo the action.

Support. Maybe there could be a setting like
(✓) One-click removal for Favorites

Ehhh, no support.
It's really not that difficult to go to a project and click the favorite button again. Also, how many times in the history of your Scratch life have you needed to unfavorite a project?

Support, instead of the x twice thing (Which leads many to think their mouse is broken or their having internet issues, have an option (Check-box) that says “Protect Delete?”
That way if you're deleting a bunch you can unselect the double-x to just easily delete them.

Look at how many favourited projects I have, do you think it is possible for a human to delete every single one on their own? I was thinking of having my macro continuously click the same place (with a certain delay) to delete all of them all. Also, there is no harm in adding it.

Also, you still need to answer the question of
how many times in the history of your Scratch life have you needed to unfavorite a project?

A couple of times, when you have looked at a project that you have saved for later or you have found a better set of projects that spell out something like “I don't usually favorite projects” Also, how many times in the history of your Scratch life have you needed to unfavorite a project?

So if this is only done a couple of times, is it really that difficult to go to the page and click the favorite button?Also, how many times in the history of your Scratch life have you needed to unfavorite a project?A couple of times, when you have looked at a project that you have saved for later or you have found a better set of projects that spell out something like “I don't usually favorite projects”

Support if it could be something like on apple devices where you click the x once and it gets highlighted or something and then you can click the x again to delete it. This shouldn't be too hard for ST to add in and i think it would be useful.
