How to enable User Scripts in Google Chrome

In order to enable User Script support in Google Chrome free web browser:

  1. Install or switch to the development release of Google Chrome.
  2. Launch chrome.exe with the --enable-user-scripts flag, i.e. in Windows Vista: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --enable-user-scripts
  3. Create a directory to store user scripts in:
    • On Google Chrome version <= 2.0.156.1, the directory should be located at C:\scripts.
    • On Google Chrome version >2.0.156.1, the directory should be called User Scripts and be in your Chrome user data directory.
  4. Copy *.user.js files to the script directory.

#Script edits are picked up automatically; just refresh the page to see the changes.

Known issues:

Chromium does not support @exclude, @require, @resource, unsafeWindow, or any of the special GM_* APIs.

These instructions will be updated as the User Scripts support in Google Chrome improves.
