To your question: A lot. How easy is it to install a chrome plugin vs. install a packaged, auto-updating Greasemonkey script? What is the real difference in performance?



Realistically? Not much.

But I just installed it and while Chrome is running, it's taking up an additional 57.1MB of memory right now.

That said, I've installed it and I think I'm going to keep using it.


A greasemonkey script in Chrome would take the same amount of memory or more, as Chrome just repackages it as an extension on install.


I'm pretty sure that's not how Tampermonkey works.
