Got to know of them recently. They seem very cool.
Like, I don’t have to install anything extra.

https://bk7312.github.io/bookmarklets/
I especially like this one that shows Id links. Useful while sharing wikipedia links:
https://github.com/madacol/web-automation/blob/master/bookmarklets/Id Linker.js
:::.
And this one which helps to use text fragments:
Discliamer: Be careful with copy-pasting bookmarklets into your browser. Only do so if you trust it.
Which all bookmarklets do you use, find useful?
Please share them.
Are there similar easy things that most people sort of easily have access to? I think Libreoffice’s/Excel’s record macro function would be useful for people too.
Are there any communities for similar things, sort-of like beginner automation?
Thanks in advance.
I’ve been using this guy’s one for years. It’s called stretch video

It’s not often I have to use it but if you ever watch something online where the uploader has messed up the aspect ratio you can just fix it just like that, no need to download and reencode or anything I love it.
I have this to open the site in archive.today:
javascript:void(open('http://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
I wrote this one ages ago to throw shopgoodwill.com items in my calendar because the times are in PDT and they don’t have any built in notification (that works)
Also made it work with govdeals but I haven’t tested that in ages so YMMV
Writes it to a Google calendar URL. I had it write to an ICS file at one point but I don’t have version control on this one file
javascript: ( () => { function createItem(productTitle, date) { console.log(productTitle, date); window.open(`https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=%24%7BproductTitle%7D&details=%24%7BproductTitle%7D @ Goodwill ${window.location}&dates=${date}/${date}`); } if (window.location.href.toString().includes("https://shopgoodwill.com/item/")) { try { let title = document.querySelectorAll(".mb-4.d-none.d-md-block.ng-star-inserted")[0].innerText; let headers = document.querySelectorAll("th.font-weight-bold.text-nowrap"); let time; if (headers[4].innerHTML == " Handling Price: ") { time = headers[5] } else { time = headers[4] } time = time.parentElement.children[1].innerHTML.substring(0, 25) + "DT"; console.log(headers); createItem(title, new Date(time).toISOString().split(".")[0].replace(/-/gi, "").replace(/:/gi, "") + "Z"); } catch (e) { alert("An error occurred, check the console for full details: " + e); console.log(e); } } else if (window.location.href.toString().includes("https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm")) { try { createItem(document.querySelectorAll("#asset_short_desc_id")[0].innerText, new Date(document.querySelectorAll("tr > td[align='right'][nowrap='nowrap'] > b")[0].innerText.replace("ET", "EDT")).toISOString().split(".")[0].replace(/-/gi, "").replace(/:/gi, "") + "Z"); } catch (e) { alert("An error occurred, check the console for full details: " + e); console.log(e); } } else { alert("This is not a goodwill or govdeals item page."); } })();
There’s a couple there - one changes password fields to text and the other unchecks all the boxes on a page.
I have the following, which I didn’t make myself
DontF-withPaste
javascript:forceBrowserDefault=(e=>{e.stopImmediatePropagation();return true;});['copy','cut','paste'].forEach(e=>document.addEventListener(e,forceBrowserDefault,true));
Purpose: Restore the ability to paste stuff anywhere, some websites will do this in their password field
kill-sticky
(avascript:(function(){document.querySelectorAll("body *").forEach(function(node){if(["fixed","sticky"].includes(getComputedStyle(node).position)){node.parentNode.removeChild(node)}});document.querySelectorAll("html *").forEach(function(node){var s=getComputedStyle(node);if("hidden"===s["overflow"]){node.style["overflow"]="visible"}if("hidden"===s["overflow-x"]){node.style["overflow-x"]="visible"}if("hidden"===s["overflow-y"]){node.style["overflow-y"]="visible"}});var htmlNode=document.querySelector("html");htmlNode.style["overflow"]="visible";htmlNode.style["overflow-x"]="visible";htmlNode.style["overflow-y"]="visible"})();
Purpose: Un-stick anything that remain static when you scroll, ex: website header
Thank you
Edit:
The copy-paste bookmarklet does not seem to help with allowing copy-paste in the mobile version of the facebook website.i think touch events need their own specifiers?
I used to use Power Delete Suite to nuke Reddit comments.
Export a table to csv
I wrote this one to strip the custom css from any sub on (old) reddit. I use it on subs I find annoying, like mildlyinfuriating.
javascript:(function(){x=0;s=document.styleSheets;for(const y of s){if(y.title==="applied_subreddit_stylesheet"){if(y.disabled!=true){y.disabled=true;}else{y.disabled=false;}}x++;}})();
I should give it a look
I dont see any use and usage mentioned there is useless
There’s literally a “What are bookmarklets” link in OPs post.
I’ve not heard of them before. i use greasemonkey for this sort of stuff
Yes and I find it useless even after reading that freecodecamp one
