A side note, browsers are making bookmarklets harder to use in the name of security. Making it possible for web sites to block bookmarklets via Content-Security-Policy.

I hate this. I rely on bookmarklets heavily in my workflow, and this really bothers me.

You _might_ be able to do something about this with a userscript that runs on every page (add a function to the window object that runs in the extension's context, thus bypassing csp.

Author here — really happy that a joke project I did 7.5 years ago (while working at a typical outsourcing company) finally got a spotlight on HN! Please feel free to contribute! I cleaned up and modernized the repo a little recently, but didn't revise the terms list properly in a very long time (except a few obvious additions like "autonomous" and "AI"), so it's a little outdated. There's so much new bullshit to add…

Reminds me of [this](https://twitter.com/BullshitQuantum) bot on Twitter.

In the same vein as the surprisingly funny classic Cloud-to-Butt extension, which I am surprised to find is over 5 years old now: https://theawesomer.com/cloud-to-butt/276065/

A Butt-to-Butt extension? What's the point of that?

The dictionary it uses is even more entertaining: https://github.com/mourner/bullshit.js/blob/master/src/terms...

It’s funny that this dictionary could serve a competing purpose; it’s a goldmine for someone looking for buzzwords.

I'm going to circle-back after I touch base with leadership about integrating this multi-faceted solution to streamline our communication strategy with our partners.

This is best of breed technology to make the world a better place.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Cloud-to-Butt failed me when I clicked on a link for cloudflare, which had been rewritten for buttflare.com while I was at work.

Does that domain actually exist, and what does it host? (I don't want to check right now for obvious reasons).

It says: Putting things in your cloud butt since 2014.

If you're looking for that other site, stuff redirects there other than this page

(Cloud is striked through)

Thanks, looks great. I need to get this hooked into Emacs!

This may help :-)

As always with these bookmarklets that load additional JS from a remote source: Be sure you understand the possible security implications. You're essentially XSS attacking yourself if that JS source is turning hostile for any reason. One possible solution is to use SRI to ensure the linked JS doesn't load if it changes for any reason, but doesn't work in that case as the CDN (unpkg.com) doesn't add a CORS header.

It’d be better if they just embedded the whole script in the bookmarklet
