I use the normal version of Chrome as well as Canary (on both Windows and OS X). It's kind of a pain that my TamperMonkey scripts are only available in one or the other. Trying to maintain both, and synchronize changes I made in one to the other, is a ridiculous pain.

I understand that TamperMonkey stores its scripts in a SQLite database. Is there a way to share this between browser versions?

  • Have you tried using a third party tool to simply synchronise the folder contents? – Oliver G Nov 16 '12 at 12:20
  • There scripts are not stored in a folder. They're stored in a SQLite database. One solution might be to use a tool to synchronize SQLite dbs, but that can be [costly](http://www.sqlmaestro.com/products/sqlite/datasync/purchase/). I'm hoping there's a better way. – iconoclast Nov 16 '12 at 16:21

    The current beta version of Tampermonkey lists "easily sync/install your scripts from a single document" as a feature. Have you tried it out? – Oliver G Nov 16 '12 at 17:29
  • Nope... I'll see if I can upgrade to that version. Thanks. – iconoclast Nov 16 '12 at 17:29
  • Hmmm... I don't see a way to [use beta versions of extensions](https://www.google.com/search?q=use+beta+version+of+chrome+extension&oq=use+beta+version+of+chrome+extension&aqs=chrome.0.57j65l3j60l2.5030&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) either on google or [in the Chrome UI](chrome://extensions/) – iconoclast Nov 16 '12 at 17:34

    It has it's own extension page: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey-beta/gcalenpjmijncebpfijmoaglllgpjagf – Oliver G Nov 16 '12 at 17:43

You can use your Google account to sync scripts. (This is only in Beta yet)

Step1: Log into your Google account in the Google Chrome browser enter image description here

Step2: Go into Tampermonkey Dashboard, then into Settings and change the "Config mode" to "Advanced". enter image description here

Step3: Enable "Tesla" and choose "Chrome Sync"

As on v4.8.41, Go into Tampermonkey Dashboard, then into Settings and change the "Config mode" to "Beginner" or "Advanced".

Synchronize scripts that are downloadable from a Webserver.
Just set the config mode to beginner or advanced, enable TESLA.
Set the mode to chrome sync and login with chrome to your Google account.
