There are at least two other ways of running userscripts in Chrome, neither of which impose this restriction:

Tampermonkey: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dhdgffkkebhmkfjoje...

Blank Canvas: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pipnnjjknlabchljab...

Black Canvas hasn't been updated since last year and Tampermonkey seems like a privacy invader.

That's a serious allegation. Care to back it up?

This. http://i.imm.io/E9zF.png Seems like a lot of privileges for an userscript managing extension.

Later edit: After a bit of searching I also found that FAQ. They should really put that information on the chrome web store.

Well, no shit. How is TamperMonkey supposed to install extensions that require more privileges than itself? It needs full permissions because it allows scripts you install full access.

3 hours later after I did some research this reply was extremely useful.Thanks.

Just install Tampermonkey, then everything works just like before.
