Where users are beginning to love Google Chrome like crazy, we still hate it for insecure and unstable. Other demerits such as missing support for plugins/extensions just add up more to our hatred towards it.

However, this does not mean that Google is not taking Chrome seriously. Recently they added local support for Greasemonkey in Google Chrome as pointed out by gHacks. As of build 3499 and onwards, all versions of Google Chrome will include Greasemonkey support.

Previously until now, users were making use of Greasemetal, a userscript runtime for Chrome which emulated Greasemonkey but now that we have Greasemonkey in Chrome locally, users won't be needing Greasemetal anymore.

Since extensions still can't be added to Google Chrome directly yet so remember to add the parameter –enable-greasemonkey to Google Chrome shortcut and make sure to put all userscripts inside C:scripts.

Hopefully soon we will getting a Google Chrome update with full support for Greasemonkey and userscripts. The Google Chrome nightly builds can be downloaded from the link below, get the most recent one.
