Google Chrome: Use Bookmarklets to Create a Customized Toolbar

By using bookmarklets, you can compensate for Chrome’s lack of support for extensions. You can create a customized toolbar to utilize the functionality of other sites like StumbleUpon, Delicious, Evernote, and others.


Here’s some good bookmarklets to start with. Simply drag any of these links to Chrome’s Bookmarks bar:

ShareThis

Bookmark on Delicious

Post to Twitter

Clip to Evernote

Submit to StumbleUpon

Share on FriendFeed

Take Screenshot

Generate TinyURL

Supercharged GmailThis (via Lifehacker)

What bookmarklets do you use?

    For sharing to your Facebook profile you can make new bookmark “Share on Facebook”

    and paste this link below to the URL field:

    javascript:var d=document,f=’http://www.facebook.com/share’,l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,p=’.php?src=bm&v=4&i=1234538055&u=’+e(l.href)+’&t=’+e(d.title);1;try{if (!/^(.*.)?facebook.[^.]*$/.test(l.host))throw(0);share_internal_bookmarklet(p)}catch(z) {a=function() {if (!window.open(f+’r'+p,’sharer’,'toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=626,height=436′))l.href=f+p};if (/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent))setTimeout(a,0);else{a()}}void(0)
