Executing Userscripts in Google Chrome permanentely without 3rd party Extension

Question

I wrote some userscripts (in JS) and want to execute/run them permanentely as fast as possible without using Extensions like Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or Control Freak.

I found out that 3rd party Extensions like Tampermonkey reduce the userscript performance quite significantly (0,08 Sec runtime instead of 0,02 Sec for example).

I found 2 alternaitves which are both not really convenient for me:

1) I execute my scripts in the Chrome Console whenever I start the browser. Which is kinda annoying if you have do that several times a day.

2) If I add my userscript as Chrome Extension, but then it gets disabled automatically as soon as I restart Chrome as the source is not know in the Chrome Web Store.

Is there any workaround for those 2 problems? What would you suggest?

Answer 1

Don't use pack the extension into a .crx. Unpacked extensions work fine.

1. Open the extensions page, and check the "Developer Mode" box at the top right.

2. Click "Load unpacked extensions..." and select your extension's directory.
