These things are so annoying. Is there a website benchmark not for speed, not for security but for "annoyingness"? I guess there is some overlap with accessibility, but that's not exactly what I'm thinking of. I asked Copilot and searched Google but couldn't really come up with anything.
> There's even a sticky header web startup. That’s hilarious (and sad). It seems to be still in business, since 2012.

Wow, the Doom bookmarklet is kind of cool. https://bookmarkl.ink/ashtonmeuser/04710d3befc446e849108a587... It seems there isn't a way to browse existing bookmarklets, other than the small, curated lists?

It completely gets rid of the bars, which is sometimes great, but sometimes too much. I occasionally have to turn it off for workflows where the "next" button is in a fixed bar, such as checkout for US Mobile, or saving a Yoto playlist.

I have a couple bookmarklets scattered in a couple blog posts that you may find interesting / want to add: * https://river.me/blog/bookmarklet-stay-here/ * https://river.me/blog/firefox-keep-bookmark-keywords/ * https://river.me/blog/url-bar-is-a-cli/

Interestingly, in the URL CLI article, you mentioned the difficulty of maintaining such bookmarklets. That was a huge motivator for bookmarkl.ink. You can keep your verbose, commented code in a gist while the actual bookmarklet is tree shaken, stripped of comments, minified, and encoded. As of late, you even get some creature comforts like TypeScript support. Finally, every gist is a repo behind the scenes so you get version control for free.
I've been using the Kill-Sticky Chrome extension for years: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kill-sticky/lekjlgf... Because it has a configurable keyboard shortcut. Can't imagine browsing the web without it. At this point hitting Cmd+K when I visit an article is pure reflex. A bookmarklet would be more secure, but I don't know of a way to assign keyboard shortcuts to one.
Taking it even further so it will run with just one keystroke, on my Mac I used Karabiner to run a terminal script that types the bookmarklet in the address bar for me:
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "l" using {command down} -- Select the address bar (Cmd+L)
keystroke "bm" -- Type "bm"
delay 0.2 # Let Chrome recognize the site shortcut
keystroke return -- Press Enter
end tell
the website has a massive, undismissing sticky header on top on mobile with js disabled. it's also the useless kind. rather ironic.

You can add a Chrome site shortcut whose URL is a bookmarklet, so it will run the bookmarklet when you type "bm" in the address bar (for example).
