I wonder if people use them very often today. Anyway, https://github.com/marcobiedermann/awesome-bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are great in mobile browsers. This is handy if you want to avoid writing an extension for a simple script.
I use a bookmarklet I wrote all the time to remove the extra content from online recipes: https://github.com/kevlened/foodmarklet
It’s based on https://github.com/poundifdef/plainoldrecipe, but it works entirely in the client.

just use video speed controller https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro...
- edit any text on the page: javascript: (function() { document.body.contentEditable = true; document.body.spellcheck = false; })();

Force pasting is something that is unfortunately required in many places, not just the browser. For example a Citrix session where the Citrix admin decided that pasting was a security risk and hence blocked it. Or some very poorly written apps.
For all of these I use an apple script that emulates typing one letter at a time, with a small delay because Citrix can't deal with typing which is too fast.
It's based on Force Paste: https://github.com/EugeneDae/Force-Paste
I invoke it with a shortcut (Alfred on macOS for example) and it's a life saver multiple times a day. Weirdly satisfying to watch happening =)
Unable to reproduce this on Chrome 118. I just ended up with an untitled bookmark.
Still interesting to look at Chromium's source to see that they have unit tests for bookmarklets [1]. Also looks like people "frequently" report running JS from bookmarks as an XSS vulnerability [2]

Hi! Agreed re: advantages of gist/git backing. Comments and gist history via GitHub add a lot of value for free. The tool also allows bookmarklet creators to write in modern, un-obfuscated JS as there are transpilation, minification, and IIFE wrapping applied to the bookmarklet.
The security risk angle is also a concern I share. If you take a look at the disclaimer at the bottom of my project README [1], you'll see this exact issue mentioned. Versioning gists and thus bookmarklets is discussed in the same document [2]. This locks bookmarklet source to a specific commit of the git repo underlying a gist.

Ahh Bookmarklets.. my first love.. Long time ago in about era of 2004-2010 I only knew about html & php. In about 2011 I found the javascript. Next year I found the bookmarklets.
My first Bookmarklet: When is my next payday? My job used to pay salary monthly, on second last working day of month (Sun to Thu was working week). I eagerly used to count the days remaining for next payday. I realized that Javascript can do this for me. PayDay was born. I still have the code at https://gitlab.com/davchana/payday/-/blob/beta/payday_v1_01_... Coincidently this was my first project on Gitlab.
Then, Google Chrome used to remember passwords, but there was no password manager inbuilt to view passwords. I found this View Passwords code at https://ostermiller.org/bookmarklets/viewpass.js & minified it & have been using it since last 12 years, in a mobile with ViewPasswords name. The only change I did was making the div containing found passwords contenteditable to make it easy to copy. I have been using it since 2012. Somewhere in between these years I lost the original code but I came across it again in 2023.
I also made my own version of fancy view passwords, code at https://gitlab.com/davch/bookmarklets/-/blob/master/viewPass... but I tend to use the original one more often.
One of the proudest bookmarklet is CAJobAppsGSV2 (California Job Apps Google Apps Script v2). CA has a standard way of applying for government jobs, where you create templates per position title & then apply it by going through 5 or 6 pages. This BM looks at the address, a switch fires up the function, that function choses the correct dropdown values & clicks appropriate buttons & also saves some data in SessionStorage. After the confirmation it adds a div to the box, which on clicked upon closes itself. The BM prepares data from storage & page, & fires up a POST request to Google Apps Web Script, which saves it as a line item to a sheet. While doing this, it logs the statuses to the div.
