HOW TO: Install Google Chrome Greasemonkey Scripts (Windows Only)

I had heard about various methods of running Greasemonkey scripts in
Google Chrome, but now it’s easier than ever. Here’s how to install Google Chrome Greasemonkey scripts in 4 quick steps.

Of course, we are still all eagerly awaiting extensions. Leave your desired list
in my previous post, “Most Wanted Browser Extensions and Add-ons to Install in Google Chrome.”

4 Step Process

1. Install a recent
trunk build of Chromium – There are several new builds every day. Just grab the latest version, download to your preferred folder and extract.

2. Launch chrome.exe with the ?enable-greasemonkey flag – Create a shortcut to the new file and just copy/paste “?enable-greasemonkey ” after the shortcut.

3. Copy *.user.js files to the c:scripts directory on your computer –
Userscripts.org has all the Greasemonkey extensions out there. Click Install, right click and “Save as…”, edit the file name so it’s not just “26062.user.js” and save in the C:scripts folder on your computer (you most likely have to create this folder).

4. Script edits are picked up automatically; just refresh the page to see the changes – and you are done!
