Chrome addon: Greasemetal – Greasemonkey for Chrome
(137 votes, average: 3.88 out of 5)
Loading ...What is Greasemetal?
Greasemetal is a userscript runtime for Google Chrome. The runtime hosts userscripts (tiny javascript files that modify the webpages being displayed) to be executed on Google Chrome, similar to what Greasemonkey does for Mozilla Firefox, or Greasekit does for Safari.
How does it Work?
Google Chrome does not provide any interface to develop browser addons. Greasemetal modifies the behaviour of Google Chrome using an inter-process communication channel called AutomationProxy, which is used for automatically testing the functions of the web browser.
Using Greasemetal
To start using Greasemetal, download and execute the installer.
After installation, launch Greasemetal from the start menu. Greasemetal will in turn start up Google Chrome, while hooking its behaviours to insert userscripts.
Once you have started running Greasemetal, add userscripts to the userjs directory under your My Documents folder (or Documents folder on Windows Visa). If you are unfamiliar with userscripts, a number of scripts are available from userscripts.org.

Not working.
Can someone please post the userscripts that will work with Greasemetal for Chrome users that want to play Mafia Wars on FaceBook. Thanks!
I have another question… Whenever I try a new script, Windows Vista finds an error.. Am I missing something here or do I need to make a change for these to work in Vista32? Thanks for any advice!
crushing

windows 7
Boo. Windows-only.
doesnt work opens and then crashes. using chrome 4 and on winXp.
yep, crashing Chrome 4 on XP
Don’t waste your time on GreaseMetal. This app has been forgotten by the developer and no longer works on any version of Chrome.
Chrome Beta 4 allows for extensions, which you can find on the chrome page on google sites. Try it out!
I found this post really helpful regarding Grease monkey support in Chrome

It does the same for me. It opens chrome and then automatically closes. Whats the deal and why hasn’t anyone answered this question. Greasemonkey installs are just TOO geeky for Chrome. Right now I’m in Chromium (What’s the difference?)where the shortcut has a –greasemonkey enabled added to the title of the shortcut. I went to userscripts.org to install the scripts but they still don’t work in Flickr.
