Greasemonkey on Google Chrome

Google Chrome now provides support for Greasemonkey, which customizes the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript. While the extensions, which arrived some time ago officially, mark as an important step, but those who use scripts are aware of the tremendous power and versatility they offer.

So far, Greasemonkey was only available for Firefox, and there are many scripts for all kinds of tasks, such as Virtual Keyboard Interface, YouTube HQ and many more. No doubt, their arrival on Chrome provides a strong argument for those who still are not decided by one of several (and good) possibilities in the world of browsers.

While Google only announced its own browser last Tuesday and did not include an API in this first release that would allow developers to create extensions for it, Japanese developer Kazuho Oku found a way to run userscripts on Google Chrome. While its functionality is still limited, Greasemetal is already showing a lot of promise and works exactly as advertised, even though it is not compatible with all Greasemonkey scripts yet.

As of now, Greasemetal is definitely still rough around its edges. It does not have a user interface for managing scripts, for example. Instead, you have to copy them into a directory in your My Documents folder, which is not exactly user-friendly, but works just fine. The developers promise, however, that the next version will include a UI for managing scripts directly in the browser.

so keep enjoy ur browsing with google chrome
