The Best Bookmarklets for Web Browsers
Now that you know the benefits of using a bookmarklet and how easy it
is to add one to your own browser bookmarks, let me share some of my
favorite bookmarklets that are both useful and powerful:
Twitter Reactions - This helps me track all recent conversations
(tweets) on Twitter that have linked to the web page that I am
currently reading in my browser (also see Twitter Guide).
In Techmeme? - If I come across a new tech blog, I use this Techmeme
bookmarklet to discover stories from that site that may have made it
to Techmeme in the past. This indicator can help decide if I should
add that site to my reading list or not.
Capture Screenshot - This helps me capture screenshots of web pages
directly in the web browser that I can directly upload to Flickr,
Blogger, Evernote and other online services.
ToRead.cc - With ToRead, you can send web pages by email in a single
click. This elegant bookmarklet includes your email address so the web
page will directly reach your inbox and you don’t have to type any
address or fill form anywhere.
Short URL - This is too obvious but still a must-have bookmarklet. It
lets you create short URLs for any site using bit.ly, a service that
is far better than TinyURL as it offers real-time click statistics.
To English - If I come across a web page that includes words not
written in English, this bookmarklet will automatically detect the
source language of that page and translate the full page (or specific
words) into English for me using Google Translate.
Readability - Another must-have bookmarklet that helps you read web
articles distraction free. You can format pages like a newspaper or an
ebook with clean background and large font styles.
Resize Page - This is handy for tech bloggers who frequently capture
screenshots of web browsers. You can tweak the height and width field
in the bookmarklet and take screenshots of a consistent size for
uploading on your blog.
Show Password - This will unmask the real characters of an auto-fill
password that are otherwise hidden behind asterisks in the password
field of a web page. Only works if the password associated with that
site is saved in the browser.
Show RSS Feed - If your web browser has trouble detecting the RSS feed
associated with a site, try this bookmarklet. It will not only show
you the full contents of that feed but also give you options to
subscribe in your favorite newsreader.
Edit Website - This bookmarklet help me edit web pages as if I were
editing some page on a open wiki. The changes are of course lost when
you reload the page.
PrintWhatYouLike - A brilliant bookmarklet that helps you format web
pages for printing. You can save changes locally as a PDF file (more
ways to reduce printing costs).
GMail This! - Select some text on the webpage and click the Gmail
bookmarklet to compose a new email message pre-populated with the
selected text.
Get Long URLs - Short URLs generated by TinyURL and other URL
shortening services say little about the landing site but this
bookmarklet can rewrite all short links on a web page so you know
exactly where those links are pointing to.
Tidy Read - This will reformat the current web page into a printer
friendly format. It actually changes the default CSS style of a site
and renders it again using the print stylesheet. Great for reading
cluttered web pages.
Sitonomy - This will help you know which technologies are used on a
particular site. You’ll know about the site’s advertising partners,
their web stats program, what web server are they running and more.
Information provided by Siteonomy.
Download PDF - I use this bookmarklet to download web pages in PDF
format - the printed files are light and useful in situations where I
have to send the full web page via email.
Aardvark - An excellent bookmarklet to help you unravel the mystery
behind web page design. Click any paragraph, image, table or any other
element of a web page to determine it’s HTML source, image dimensions
and other properties.
Google Trends - This bookmarklet will help you quickly determine the
relative popularity (web traffic) of any web site using the Google
Trends for websites service.
Delicious Talk - See how many people have saved a particular page on
delicious and what tags have they used to describe the page.
Important: To add any of these bookmarklets in to your browser, just
drag the highlighted link into your bookmarks bar. If you using
Internet Explorer, right-click on the link and choose "Add to
favorites."

While JavaScript bookmarklets offer a nice alternative to browser add-
ons, they don’t come with installers so you have no option but to add
them manually across every web browser that you use. The required
effort will increase manifold if you work across multiple computers
(say office and home) and need access to your bookmarklets on all
these machines.
Fortunately, there are some simple workarounds to help you efficiently
manage (and remember) bookmarklets across all browsers and computers.
How to Remember Bookmarklets
Unlike regular bookmarks, your browser cannot associate image icons
with bookmarklets as these are simple JavaScript commands and not web
addresses. You can however do a few things that can make discovery of
bookmarklets easy.
If you are on Firefox, right-click the properties of any bookmarklet
and associate a keyword that defines the action or task associated
with that bookmarklet.
For example, I have set "pdf" as the keyword for my Download PDF
bookmarklet. Now whenever I need to save a web page in PDF format, I
simply type pdf in the browser address bar and hit Enter - there’s no
need to hunt for the bookmarklet in the bookmarks toolbar.
Google Chrome and Internet Explorer don’t support Firefox like
keywords for bookmarks but you can manually change the "web icon
image" associated with the bookmarklet through "Properties" - this
will make bookmarklet hunting relatively easy.
How to Organize Bookmarklets for Easy Access
When you have added dozens of bookmarklets to your favorites bar along
with regular bookmarks, things can again get a bit confusing so here’s
a tip.
Create a new sub-folder in your "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder and move
all your bookmarklet links into this folder. You may also manually
order the bookmarklets in the folder (through drag-n-drop) such that
the most useful (or most accessed) bookmarklet is listed at the top
and so on.
How to Sync Bookmarklets Across Browsers & Computers
Now that you have all your bookmarklets in one folder, the next step
is to spread these bookmarklets across all the different web browsers
and computers that you have in your network.
The easiest approach is that you export your bookmarks file as an HTML
file and then import the file back into your other browsers. This is
the only available option if you intend to copy your bookmarklets from
Firefox to a browser like Google Chrome that doesn’t support add-ons.
The next decent option is Foxmarks - this service, which will soon be
available as XMarks, can put all your bookmarks and bookmarklets into
the cloud so you can access them from any other computer connected to
the Internet - something like Live Mesh.
Other than online backup, another advantage of Foxmarks is that it is
available for Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari so if you add a
bookmarklet in one browser, it will automatically become available in
your other browsers as well.
