Google Chrome Supports Greasemonkey
Chrome version 4 and later will support most of the JavaScript-coded Greasemonkey scripts
In a blog post, Aaron Boodman, the developer of the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox, announced that Chrome version 4 and later will support most of the JavaScript-coded Greasemonkey scripts without any additional tweaking necessary.
This includes all available builds for Windows (stable | beta | dev), Mac (beta | dev), and Linux (beta | dev). Chrome converts the JavaScript directly into a Chrome extension as it's being installed, and the new add-on lives as an extension in Chrome's Extension management window.
While this potentially adds 40,000 Greasemonkey scripts to Chrome's growing extension catalog, Boodman estimates that between 15 and 25 percent of them won't work on Chrome because of coding differences between Google's browser and Firefox.
