Is Chrome's native userscript support completely dead, then? I remember there was a time when you could install stuff right off of Userscripts.org, without an extension...
Last time I used Chromium as my main browser a couple of years ago it was still possible (by dragging the .user.js to the extensions tab, not directly from the web anymore) but the userscript would be automatically disabled each time I opened the browser. While that's not completely dead it's mostly useless, I don't know the current situation.
