Google Chrome 4 Natively Supports Greasemonkey Scripts
The biggest feature in Google Chrome 4 was without doubt the built in extension engine that allowed Chrome users to easily install and use extensions. What the developers forgot to mention in the release announcement was that Greasemonkey userscript support was also added to the web browser.
Userscripts are small scripts that change elements on the website. They can remove elements, e.g. backgrounds or advertisement and add new features like links or information to those pages.
Google Chrome did support userscripts in earlier version but the new implementation in Google Chrome 4 makes it much easier to install and work with those scripts.
