Bookmarklets support #300

Open bitsandnumbers opened 9 years ago

Hi, I'll just paste what I wrote on TJC about my query:

Since the Jolla Tablet won't get much apps or plugins api in the beginning, I strongly suggest you work on adding a bookmarklet support for the browser. Simple way would be to have a fav bar below the address bar where one can put any bookmark(let) that one want, but you could come up with better ways.

It's important, because it would allow immediate support for third-party open source web-apps that we use with our own servers or that lie around on internet.

Examples of third-parties that use bookmarklet:

Proprietary: Pocket

Open-Source: Wallabag

And many many others !

You can find the TJC thread at this address: https://together.jolla.com/question/81531/add-bookmarklets-support-to-web-browser/

Hope it will make it into production :-)

You can use bookmarklets - as I answered on the TJC thread.

BUT you cannot use a bookmarklet that processes selected text, which is a common use case, because you cannot select text.
