How do I restrict chrome greasemonkey scripts to a single webpage, or just certain webpages?

Question

Is there a way to prevent chrome from running greasemonkey scripts except for on certain domains? I could do some hackery with location.href, but it would be nice if there were a cleaner solution.

When I install by dragger script.user.js into the browser, the script automatically runs for all websites.

How do I prevent this?

Use @match, as described here.

Example:

// ==UserScript==
// @match http://*/*
// @match http://*.google.com/*
// @match http://www.google.com/*
// @match https://www.google.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

That’s whole domains. How can it be restricted to a single page? – Synetech Mar 04 '12 at 23:45
Don't forget to add the `https` ones too. – totymedli Jul 02 '17 at 14:03
