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

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-are-bookmarklets/
https://bk7312.github.io/bookmarklets/

I especially like this one that shows Id links. Useful while sharing wikipedia links:
https://github.com/madacol/web-automation/blob/master/bookmarklets/Id%20Linker.js

And

This one which helps to use text fragments:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62989058/how-does-text-in-url-work-to-highlight-text#answer-76131511

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.

I have the following, which I didn't make myself

DontF-withPaste

javascript:forceBrowserDefault=(e=>{e.stopImmediatePropagation();return true;});['copy','cut','paste'].forEach(e=>document.addEventListener(e,forceBrowserDefault,true));

Purpose: Restore the ability to paste stuff anywhere, some websites will do this in their password field

kill-sticky

(avascript:(function(){document.querySelectorAll("body *").forEach(function(node){if(["fixed","sticky"].includes(getComputedStyle(node).position)){node.parentNode.removeChild(node)}});document.querySelectorAll("html *").forEach(function(node){var s=getComputedStyle(node);if("hidden"===s["overflow"]){node.style["overflow"]="visible"}if("hidden"===s["overflow-x"]){node.style["overflow-x"]="visible"}if("hidden"===s["overflow-y"]){node.style["overflow-y"]="visible"}});var htmlNode=document.querySelector("html");htmlNode.style["overflow"]="visible";htmlNode.style["overflow-x"]="visible";htmlNode.style["overflow-y"]="visible"})();

Purpose: Un-stick anything that remain static when you scroll, ex: website header

    There's a couple there - one changes password fields to text and the other unchecks all the boxes on a page.

    I wrote this one to strip the custom css from any sub on (old) reddit. I use it on subs I find annoying, like mildlyinfuriating.

    javascript:(function(){x=0;s=document.styleSheets;for(const y of s){if(y.title==="applied_subreddit_stylesheet"){if(y.disabled!=true){y.disabled=true;}else{y.disabled=false;}}x++;}})();

    I've been using this guy's one for years. It's called stretch video

    https://gist.github.com/arpruss/74abc1bc95ae08e543b9b74f15a23b07

    It's not often I have to use it but if you ever watch something online where the uploader has messed up the aspect ratio you can just fix it just like that, no need to download and reencode or anything I love it.

  • I wrote this one ages ago to throw shopgoodwill.com items in my calendar because the times are in PDT and they don't have any built in notification (that works)

    Also made it work with govdeals but I haven't tested that in ages so YMMV

    Writes it to a Google calendar URL. I had it write to an ICS file at one point but I don't have version control on this one file

    javascript: (
        () => {
            function createItem(productTitle, date) {
                console.log(productTitle, date);
                 window.open(`https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=${productTitle}&details=${productTitle} @ Goodwill ${window.location}&dates=${date}/${date}`);
            }
            if (window.location.href.toString().includes("https://shopgoodwill.com/item/")) {
                try {
                    let title = document.querySelectorAll(".mb-4.d-none.d-md-block.ng-star-inserted")[0].innerText;
                    let headers = document.querySelectorAll("th.font-weight-bold.text-nowrap");
                    let time;
                    if (headers[4].innerHTML == " Handling Price: ") {
                        time = headers[5] }
                    else {
                        time = headers[4]
                    }
                    time = time.parentElement.children[1].innerHTML.substring(0, 25) + "DT";
                    console.log(headers);
                    createItem(title, new Date(time).toISOString().split(".")[0].replace(/-/gi, "").replace(/:/gi, "") + "Z");
                } catch (e) {
                    alert("An error occurred, check the console for full details: " + e);
                    console.log(e); 
                }
            } else if (window.location.href.toString().includes("https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm")) {
                try {
                    createItem(document.querySelectorAll("#asset_short_desc_id")[0].innerText, new Date(document.querySelectorAll("tr > td[align='right'][nowrap='nowrap'] > b")[0].innerText.replace("ET", "EDT")).toISOString().split(".")[0].replace(/-/gi, "").replace(/:/gi, "") + "Z");
                } catch (e) {
                    alert("An error occurred, check the console for full details: " + e);
                    console.log(e);
                }
            } else {
                alert("This is not a goodwill or govdeals item page.");
            }
        })();

  • A little one that shows completed orders on ebay. useful for finding the actual value of stuff you're thinking of selling. Run after searching for the item on the results page

    javascript: (() => { document.location += '&LH_Complete=1'; })()
