How does this compare with a simple bookmarlet? https://news.ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html

It's pretty much identical - the only difference is you can specify your title before the populated submission page.

It would come down to user preference: some people may not display any bookmarks without navigating the relevant menus so an extension is helpful, and some people may not want to install an extension for such a simple function :)

Nice job! How many links does an average user submit?

Thanks - I couldn't say yet, not enough users!
