Greasemonkey Support coming to Google Chrome

Greasemonkey Support coming to Google Chrome

Google Operating System blog has reported that one of the newer builds of Chromium has basic support for the user scripts.

Chromium is the open source base on which Google build its Google Chrome web browser.

These user scripts are accessible in the popular open source web browser Firefox through the add-on Greasemonkey.

This means that Google is working on adding support for third party scripts to Chrome which could make it more attractive to Firefox users.

Greasemonkey is good enough to bring added functionalities for a lot of tasks.

For now, it does not support site specific scripts which can cause problems for the users as the scripts are going to run on all the web pages.

It does not come activated by default as the user needs to append ‘--enable-greasemonkey‘ flag to the Chrome shortcut manually.

It then picks up any script that resides in the folder ‘C:/scripts‘.
