Comment on Chrome.userScripts API requires developer mode

Comments

Currently I maintain a user script for myself and about 10 much-less-technical colleagues, which they install with Violent Monkey. With this change the ones who use Chrome will need to enable extension developer mode. Are there consequences to that, or is it just an extra step?

Just an extra step, it's a single toggle in about:extensions. Bonus: it let's them use extensions on their filesystem instead of only the chrome webstore.

It's a single step for now...

Why not just use Firefox?
