Summary

dotjs is a Google Chrome extension that executes JavaScript files in ~/.js based on their filename.

If you navigate to http://www.google.com/, dotjs will execute ~/.js/google.com.js.

This makes it super easy to spruce up your favorite pages using JavaScript.

See https://github.com/defunkt/dotjs for full installation instructions. You need to run a server in addition to this Chrome extension.

Only works on OS X.

User reviews
This plugin executes a blocking call on every single page load to a 91kb file on your harddrive (jQuery 1.9.0 minified). This means every single page will load about half a second later than it should depending on your hard drive speed.

AMAZING

Excellent, more developer-oriented version of something like GreaseMonkey. Setup is necessarily complex but you have lots of freedom to tweak once you're all set.
