GreaseKit for 64bit Safari

@xdd released ad-hock solution "GreaseKit for Safari 64bit" for using userscripts on 64bit Safari on Snow Leopard.
His blog article is following URL (written in Japanese)
I'll add English install instructions on here later.

Userscript starts from Opera and now it runs on Firefox add on GreaseMonkey and Google Chrome. And we had userscript solution GreaseKit on Safari until Leopard era. GreaseKit which is similar to famous add-on GreaseMonkey works on SIMBL platform. SIMBL is solution for adding plug-ins onto Cocoa application with hacking input-manager.

But now, Apple made input-manager to be safe on Snow Leopard 64bit application. And userscript's driver plug-in "GreaseKit" lose its platform SIMBL.

I'll use GreaseKit for Safari 64bit for developing userscript on great WebKit's Web Inspector however I agree Apple's choice to close miss-design on input manager basically.

  3. Okay so how do I use it?

    I put it in ~/Libray/Internet Plug-Ins/ but it looks like I can only get the GreaseKit menu item to show up when I open the included greasekit.html

    Reopen Safari, menu item gone. How are people using this?
