I have taken my digg AdBlocker script I originally made for greasemonkey and have made it available for Google Chrome users.

Install the digg AdBlocker extension for Google Chrome here:

I finally got around to cleaning up my Google Chrome version of Hacker News OnePage. You can install it for your Chrome browser over at the Google Chrome Extensions gallery.

EDIT: Check here for updates to the Google Chrome Hacker News OnePage extension.

Google just recently released Chrome v3.0, and the developer builds in the dev channel now have extensions turned on by default (no need to append –enable-extensions to the exe target).  The extensions system for Chrome is getting nicer and nicer (just check out chrome://extensions in your Chrome browser).  I have a working version of Hacker News OnePage that I have tested with dev channel build 4.0.206.1.  I assume that it will also work fine with the new 3.0 stable release if you have extensions enabled.

A new update to Chrome brought a better packaging system for extensions, but also broke all the extensions packaged with the old system.  So here are the new Hacker News and Digg extensions that will work with chrome.

Hacker News OnePage (install): Provides users with the ability to browse Hacker News articles and comments without leaving the page. source - manifest

Digg AdBlocker (install): Removes ads from digg. source - manifest

Update (7/10/09): I fixed the extensions to work with the new update to Chrome, find them here.

Today I decided to convert some of my Greasemonkey Scripts to Chrome Extensions.  I converted my Digg AdBlocker, Hacker News OnePage, and Hacker News Comments scripts.  It turned out to be quite easy, I barely had to change anything to get them running as Chrome Extensions.  I packaged them using the python script Google supplied, so they are easy for anyone to install.

To use the extensions, you first need to be running the dev build of Google Chrome, you can get it here. Then ad --enable-extensions to your Chrome command line. Do this by right clicking your Chrome shortcut and choosing “properties”. Then in the “Target:” field add a space after the file path and then add the command.  It should like similar to “C:\...your..path..\chrome.exe --enable-extensions“.

Click the following install links and Chrome will ask you if you wish to install the extension.  There are also links to view the source and JSON manifest of the extensions.

Hacker News OnePage (install): Provides users with the ability to browse Hacker News articles and comments without leaving the page. source - manifest

Hacker News Comments Footer (install): Adds a footer to the end of the comments pages to give a visual cue of the end of page. source - manifest

Digg AdBlocker (install): Removes ads from digg. source - manifest
