Google Chrome Adds Greasemonkey to the Browser!

Google Chrome had a serious short coming in not having any plug-in or add-on within itself. All the front running browsers such as Firefox (notable for add-ons) and Opera (with widgets) have put plug-ins into great effect to increase the popularity and multiple features. Greasemonkey has been a prime example of that for Firefox. So, as we were speculating, Google came up with Greasemetal (a G-version of Greasemonkey) for its browser Chromium.

Greasemetal is a userscript runtime for Google Chrome. The runtime hosts userscripts (tiny javascript files that modify the webpages being displayed) to be executed on Google Chrome,

Technology

Greasemetal works with Chromium through an inter-process communication channel called AutomationProxy, which is used for automatically testing the functions of the web browser.

You will thus be able to insert userscripts for particular features and use them from there.

Limitations

Though there is no such limitation at sight, Google browser restricts the metadata feature which can, in turn, bind Greasemetal to its limited activity.

Download the installer from here, if you are using Google Chrome.
