Chrome has slowing begun capturing what was once a niche area for firefox – plug ins. The latest feature to be added to chrome is the native support for grease monkey scripts. These are nothing but small pieces of code, which are run within the browser to perform special tasks.

The chrome browser will automatically convert the java script scripts into native chrome extensions when it is installed. After installation the scripts will appear as extensions and can be uninstalled when necessary , so this makes adding and removing them pretty straight forward.

There are two advantages in this – first there is no need for rewriting existing scripts to specifically cater to chrome and also the fact that the code can work just fine in all OS that chrome supports.

Note that you would need to use v4 of chrome browser to take advantage of this feature.
