ADVERTISEMENTS

Above: Safari splitted by two. Done with bookmarklet.

There is a way to quickly run short script in your Safari web browser; It's by using bookmarklets. Bookmarklets are bookmark items and bookmark items are not limited to only url address; We can also make short javascript function as bookmark item by simply dropping the favicon to bookmark bar.

Some examples of bookmarklets for you to have fun with :

CSS Killer

With a single click, you can disable stylesheet of the current page of your web browser. It's nostalgic to see webpages without any styling, isn't it? And here is the javascript.

Note: To use it, drop the link to the bookmark bar.

Colors Zapper

Say goodbye to colors, single click on this will disable all color styling for currently viewed page.

Word Count

If you feel curious what are the most words used in certain page, you can use this bookmarklet. Try it and you will know how it works.

Full Screen Browser

Do you feel that sometimes Zoom button on your Safari web browser didn't work as you wanted to? Then this bookmarklet would suit you because it can resize your browser pane to full screen.

Split Window into Two

You need to refresh the page in order to bring back normal window.

Digg This Page

When you found a really good article but cannot spot Digg button nearby? Don't worry, you can use this bookmarklet and get your favorite page Dugg. This bookmarklet always comes in handy for me.
