do not require title field, auto fetch it

[ghost]

would it be difficult to have webmarks only require the URL and fetch the <title> of the page directly by itself? Or does CORS prevent this?

Yes, the single-origin policy would prevent this for sites without CORS headers. But that could be mitigated by using e.g. the 5apps proxy service.

However, I don't see that this feature is worth the implementation effort, when regular users usually have it pre-filled anyway, because they use the bookmarklet. So the question is: is there a particular reason why you dont' use it, and which might also prevent others from doing so?

I don't use the bookmarklet because it takes another row in my browser (Firefox) to display it. I don't use the "Bookmarks Toolbar". So far, I haven't found a way to use bookmarkets without displaying the toolbar, unfortunately :(

I also don't use the toolbar. I just press ctrl-b to open and close the bookmarks list as sidebar, when I want to get to my bookmarklets and often-used browser bookmarks.

Thanks! Will use that from now on. Very discoverable UX :D

Ok, cool. Glad I could help.
