By looking at the list, you might guess that Saurik hasn’t updated his device to iOS 7 yet. Well, you’re right. Majority of the tweaks listed are old and unsupported on iOS 7 and have been released a few years ago. He explained in the reddit thread that he’s hesitant to upgrade to iOS 7 because of changes made to by Apple to iOS Safari and certain other aspects of iOS 7.
I am not certain what to do about iOS 7. Apple ruined the web browser by adding the “scroll up for navbar” feature: it is horribly distracting and entirely useless. I could just remove it, but they also bring up a solid bar now with the back button… :(. On iOS 6 they simply nailed it: the HUD was entirely gone except for a few transparent buttons that were always present; I seriously now do most of my browsing on my iPhone (I’m typing this response on my iPhone, in fact), but I simply can’t use iOS 7 Safari. When I have time I might try to do some major surgery to “fix it”, but until then I am on iOS 6. (That said, I also rely on a ton of these extensions, and only very recently have some of them been ported. iOS 7 also screwed up the address book, and they use colors everywhere like red… red means “this is dangerous or is an error”, not “edit my alarm”. I’m just distraught.)
