Do you use Javascript bookmarklets? Which ones do you find useful? And are there similar things that would be useful to know of? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Got to know of them recently. They seem very cool.
Like, I don't have to install anything extra.

I especially like this one that shows Id links. Useful while sharing wikipedia links:

And

This one which helps to use text fragments:

Discliamer: Be careful with copy-pasting bookmarklets into your browser. Only do so if you trust it.

Which all bookmarklets do you use, find useful?
Please share them.

Are there similar easy things that most people sort of easily have access to? I think Libreoffice's/Excel's record macro function would be useful for people too.

Are there any communities for similar things, sort-of like beginner automation?

Thanks in advance.
