What do bookmarklets do?

A bookmarklet is a "one-click" tool which adds functionality to the browser, such as modifying the appearance of a web page, querying a search engine with search terms provided by previously selected text, or submitting the current page to a translation or blogging service.

How bookmarklets are different from extensions?

  • They do basic tasks on clicking.
  • They are universal, i.e. they usually work on any browser, and whatever the platform, mobile or desktop.
  • They are managed as any bookmarks.

How do I install a bookmarklet?

  • Drag the bookmarklet from the page to your Bookmarks Toolbar. It should appear on the toolbar.

The process is very similar for most browsers; usually the only hard part is figuring out how to show your browser's Bookmarks Toolbar – but once that's taken care of, you're good to go!

How do I use a bookmarklet?

  • Navigate to the page where you want your bookmarklet to apply to.
  • Click the bookmarklet on your Bookmarks Toolbar.
