Although Google Chrome is more “lightweight” compare with other famous browsers such as Firefox and Opera, but one thing that make most of the users avoid using it is because it missing the support of plugins and extensions which will greatly increase the usability of the browser.
However, the latest Google Chrome supports Greasemonkey script. Since there is no way to install extension, so the browser will only loads the scripts from c:\scripts. Furthermore, users need to add the parameter –enable-greasemonkey at the end of the shortcut.
You need build 3499 or later in order to run Greasemonkey script. You may use this method to always get the latest version of Google Chrome.
