What is a bookmarklet?

A bookmarklet is a small JavaScript program stored as a browser bookmark. When clicked, it runs code to modify a webpage, extract data, or perform quick actions.


How to make a Bookmarklet

  1. Write a JavaScript function to perform the desired task. For example: 
                            
javascript:(function() {
    alert('Hello, this is a bookmarklet!');
})();
  2. Copy the code and prepend it with the `javascript:` prefix. Remove any newlines or unnecessary spaces.
  3. Create a new bookmark in your browser and paste the code as the URL.

Example Bookmarklet

Drag the following link to your bookmarks bar to try an example bookmarklet: Click Me!

How to Use Bookmarklets

Simply click the bookmarklet from your bookmarks bar while on any webpage to execute the JavaScript code.
