40,000 New Extensions Now Available for Chrome

Google Chrome LogoThe one thing going for Firefox was the ability to customize the browser however you want. With the ability to install Greasemonkey user scripts out-of-the-box, there is little reason to continue using Firefox, unless you have a grudge against Google. If you aren’t familiar with the Greasemoneky extension, it was created in 2004 as a way to quickly customize pages using simple JavaScript, although it can really do a lot more than that. For example, you can see in the screenshot included the ability to see the people who have unfriended me on Facebook or view all the videos on YouTube in HD/higher quality.

I experimented with some of the scripts, but didn’t have any luck getting them to work. Many of these can be quickly written, and using a beta product doesn’t help. Aaron Boodman, who wrote the post explaining how these scripts work, states that between 15-25% of the scripts will not work in Google Chrome, and that you should consider letting the author know.

Greasemonkey Extensions for Google Chrome

Even if you have never used an extension before you might want to consider checking out Userscripts.org, which is the repository for all the Greasemonkey scripts. Simply click the install button, and you’ll be on your way to installing and using the simple productivity solutions.

What I still need in Chrome before I begin to use it more of the time include the following:

  • A better experience. Currently, it is (like Firefox) a pain to use, compared to Safari.
  • A faster experience. I figure users with slower connections like the speed of Chrome compared to Internet Explorer, but between Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, Chrome is remarkably slow.
  • Options. Sure, there are options included like within Firefox, but many are unusable at this point or appear to be hastily integrated into the browser.
