Here is my collection of Javascript bookmarklets. Sometimes they are better than extensions.
Using the bookmarklets
To install the bookmarklet, drag the link to your bookmarks bar (if your bookmarks bar isn’t showing, you’ll want to turn it on first). After the bookmarklet is on your bookmarks bar, you can use it by clicking on it.
Tools for the current page
- Copy Title & URL - from Erik’s Bookmarklets. This bookmarklet will copy the title and url in two formats. One, when you go to paste into a document or email it will be a link, or two, when you paste into something text only it will be the plain text title and then URL
- URL to Markdown - Copy Title & URL in Markdown format
- Eduk8me Create QR Code - Google deprecated the use of the chart tool to generate QR codes, so with some help from ChatGPT I wrote a QR code generator that works entirely in your browser using Javascript
Other bookmarklets
- Add to Outlook Calendar - This bookmarklet will copy the current page’s address and any highlighted text to the clipboard and then open Outlook Calendar.
- Google Switch - This bookmarklet works on Google documents, switching the currently open document between edit and preview mode.
- Archive.IS - Bypass paywalls by viewing the current website on archive.is
- ROT13 - ROT13 the selected text, usually for spoilers. This is not encryption!
