Most of us who use Firefox browser knows about Greasemonkey Firefox Addon.

It is a great news for all Greasemonkey lovers who are missing it in Google Chrome

Aaron Boodman is the developer of Greasemonkey Firefox Addon. He announced that now Google Chrome 4 supports Greasemonkey natively.

It means you now can add 40,000 more extensions in Chrome 4 Browser. User Scripts has 40,000 odd Greasemonkey scripts.

Boodman estimates that between 15 and 25 percent of Greasemonkey scripts won’t work on Chrome because of coding differences between Google’s browser and Firefox.

Greasemonkey script Installation as extension in Chrome 4

Greasemonkey installation is quick and easy. It is just like installing an extension. It is due to the Chrome 4 ability to convert user script into an extension on the fly. It then stores the user script as extension.

Boodman warns :

Note that user scripts are powerful software and have full access to your private data on any web site. So, for example, they could read all your web mail or access your online bank. Be sure to read the comments on any user scripts in order to decide whether you trust the author with this power.

In the past, I have mentioned about Google Chrome Browser.

Till this point of time, One thing that was lacking in Google Chrome Browser was support of Google Chrome Extensions Website (similar to Firefox Extensions or Addon).

Yes, Google Chrome Extensions Gallery is now officially live. From now, if you need any extensions for your Google Chrome browser, just head to the Google Chrome Extension Gallery. Search for an extension and install it.

It will be similar to searching and installing Firefox extensions or addons.

One feature i liked about Google Chrome Extensions is that after you install Google Chrome Extension, there is no need to restart the chrome browser, you can start using the feature right away. It is not the case with Firefox.

Note that Chrome extension works with the latest developer builds of Google Chrome 4.0+.

Few months back, i have mentioned that Google is coming up with it’s own Operating System – Google Chrome OS.

Yesterday, Google released Google Chrome OS Open Source or Chromium OS Code.

You can check some of Check out Google Chrome OS Screenshots.

After few months, Google has finally given some news regarding Google OS. They have now open source Chrome OS or Chromium OS code

NOTE: This is not an official Chrome OS launch. Chrome OS open source is opened to all so, that all developers around world can access the code and do some changes or add some enhancements and make it better.

They plan to launch Chromium OS in some time next year.

From Google Blog

Today we are open-sourcing the project as Chromium OS. We are doing this early, a year before Google Chrome OS will be ready for users, because we are eager to engage with partners, the open source community and developers. As with the Google Chrome browser, development will be done in the open from this point on. This means the code is free, accessible to anyone and open for contributions. The Chromium OS project includes our current code base, user interface experiments and some initial designs for ongoing development. This is the initial sketch and we will color it in over the course of the next year.

Since, Google has released the source code of Chrome OS, you will definitely see lots of Chrome OS flavors coming up. Just like we see for various Linux OS.

Chrome OS is basically built around a web browser just like Google Chrome. It means if you see Chrome OS, you would see everything inside Google Chrome Browser. You can check out more from the below video.

Google has released Chrome 3.0 version. This release has lots of enhancements and bug fixes.

More about Google Chrome 3.0 at Official Google Blog

This release comes hot on the heels of 51 developer, 21 beta and 15 stable updates and 3,505 bugfixes in the past year. For you, that means significant speed improvements for the browser as well as a fresh redesign of some of its most loved features.

We’ve improved by more than 150% in Javascript performance since our very first beta, and by more than 25% since the most recent stable release.

When you download and fire up this latest release of Google Chrome, you’ll notice that the New Tab page sports a new look. We’ve redesigned the New Tab page so that it’s easy to use and easily customizable. Now you can rearrange thumbnails of your most-visited websites by simply clicking and dragging your mouse. Additionally, you can pin thumbnails to a spot so they don’t disappear even if your browsing habits change. This way, you can easily get to the websites you care about with just one click.

We’ve also improved one of the most used and loved features of Google Chrome, the Omnibox. Because it’s a search bar as well as the web address bar, the multi-talented Omnibox helps you get to the sites you’re looking for with just a few keystrokes. With this release, we’ve optimized the presentation of the drop-down menu and added little icons to help you distinguish between suggested sites, searches, bookmarks, and sites from your browsing history.

We’re very excited about HTML5 becoming standard in modern browsers, and continued to add HTML5 capabilities to this stable release.

After testing out Themes for Google Chrome in the beta channel, we’re finally releasing it in this stable release. Themes allow you to deck out your browser with colors, patterns and images. We’ll be bringing more Themes for the browser soon, but in the meantime, you can change the theme of your browser by visiting the Themes Gallery.
