Related to one of my previous posts, Garret Rogers reveals today that Google Chrome open source version (Chromium) has added a very initial support for Greasemonkey.
I think we all know where this is going. Greasemonkey is about 50% of what I need in order to switch to Chrome with all my heart and soul.
I had this period when I was using Chrome primarily, but I finally caved back into the convenience of Firefox extensions and user scripts. Not even the Chrome amazing speed can beat some of those excellent additions you find out there. The thing that tipped me over eventually was Ubiquity.
At this point I'm using Chrome for office related activities (Gmail, Calendar), and trying to use firefox for everything else - which is kind of hard since all links in my Gmail open up in another Chrome window.
I'm also worried about the Firefox folks, who I thought were good friends with Google. If Chrome supports all the plugins and extensions, why would anyone use Firefox.
I, for one, vote for a Firefox browser with the Chrome engine.
