Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are snippets of JavaScript that are executed when you click on a bookmark. You can “install” them by dragging them to your bookmark bar, and whenever you want to run one, you simply click on it. I’ve amassed a small collection of them.

The purpose of this article is to share these bookmarklets with you 😄.

Autoclicker - Automatically clicks the selected element.

Snake in 849 bytes - A snake codegolf (look it up) in just 849 bytes. More info on the creators website.

Retro - Makes your screen look like an old monitor.

Blur - Adds a blur filter to the page.

Grayscale - Applies a grayscale filter to the page.

Random Orientations - A bookmarklet that makes small adjustments to the orientation of various elements on the page, giving it a nice 'broken' look.

Rotate Page Booby Trap - This script does nothing until someone presses a key on keyboard or moves the mouse, then it rotates the page 180°. After you run the script there is a 5 second pause before the trap is activated.

I Like Frogs - This script replaces any text that the victim enters with the words 'I like frogs'. More info at their website.

Toggle CSS - Toggle the CSS on a website off and on.

jQuerify - A utility script that checks if jQuery is on a page, and if it isn't, adds jQuery.


Bookmarklets From my old collection (which I use often)

Hide YouTube Progress Bar - Hides the YouTube Progress Bar, which is great if you want to take full-screen screenshots of a YouTube video.

Convert Webpage to PDF - Converts any webpage into a PDF using web2pdfconvert.com.

Enable Right-Click - Enables right click on websites where it is blocked.

Restore Right-Click - Restores right click on websites where it is blocked. Can work on sites where Enable Right-Click doesn't work.

Launch Rocketship - Fly around a webpage and blow up elements in your own rocketship! Kickass!

X-Ray Goggles - Mozilla's X-Ray Goggles makes it easy to see and remix the code behind your favorite web pages. The best part: you don't need any prior coding experience!

Kill Stick Navigation Bars - Kills Sticky Navigation Bars so you can focus more on the actual content.

Asteroids - Lauch a game of Asteroids! Similar to Kick-Ass Rocketship.

Element Info - Get information on any element just by hovering over it. Very useful for developers!
