Google Chrome 4 now natively supports Greasemonkey user scripts
Feb 11th
One thing that got lost in the commotion of the extensions launch is a feature that is near and dear to my heart: Google Chrome 4 now natively supports Greasemonkey user scripts. Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension I wrote in 2004 that allows developers to customize web pages using simple JavaScript and it was the inspiration for some important parts of our extension system.
Installation is quick and easy, just like installing an extension. That’s because under the covers, the user script is actually converted into an extension. This means that management tasks like disabling and uninstalling work just like they do with extensions.
Also keep in mind that some user scripts won’t work in Google Chrome yet, because of differences between it and Firefox. Based on some analysis that the current maintainers of Greasemonkey did, I expect between 15%-25% of scripts to not work in Google Chrome. If you find such a script, you should consider letting the author know. There may be something he or she can do to easily fix the problem. In the meantime, we’ll keep working on bugs on our side to bring our implementation closer to Greasemonkey.

finally Google Chrome 4 hits beta, includes lots of extensions
Feb 11th
The latest Windows version of Google Chrome, version 4.0, is now in beta. It’s reportedly a scorching 30% faster than the current release, and it includes a bookmark syncing feature that’s been floating around in the developer preview version of the browser for some time.
Activate bookmark syncing on each of your computers, and Chrome will automatically synchronize any changes to your bookmarks across all your machines. It’s made possible by the magic of XMPP, which also powers Google Talk. Sound good? Go ahead and download Chrome 4.0 Beta.
This beta version of Chrome is also notable for what it leaves out: extensions support. According toStephen Shankland at CNET, Google is reworking the extensions interface for Chrome, so that feature is disabled for now. Shankland also tracked down some news on the upcoming Chrome Mac Beta. The team working on it has been instructed to fix all their high-priority bugs by the end of the week, and it looks like getting the Mac version out is near the top of Google’s to-do list.
