Recently released Chromium nightly 4.0.239.0 (Ubuntu build 31231) now converts and installs Greasemonkey user scripts as an extension, just like its Windows sibling that got this new feature 2 days ago.
So to install a user script from UserScript.org in Chromium Linux build just click on the install button of the script, hit “Continue” and wait for the “Confirm Installation” window to pop-up. Getting the users scripts up doesn’t mean they’ll run, so don’t get excited. Try those scripts you know well and often use in Firefox and compare their performance with Chromium Linux builds – if you mind let us know the outcome.

Seamonkey 2.0 also gets closer to the most recent Firefox as it uses the same internal platform as Firefox 3.5.4 – that definitely affects several aspects in Seamonkey 2.0 like add-ons that now have a familiar Firefox-like Add-on Manager; updating, installing, disabling or uninstalling add-ons gets easier. This move is also to make Seamonkey extension development less tedious for Firefox extension developers that can now use the SMILE JavaScript library also in making Seamonkey extensions. More»
