On my list of things to try: xBrowserSync – Browser syncing as it should be: secure, anonymous and free!

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/10

[Wayback/Archive] xBrowserSync – Browser syncing as it should be: secure, anonymous and free!

Things to watch for are syncing actions the browsers perform themselves (like Google Browser Sync integrated into Chrome and Firefox Sync).

It is open source at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – xbrowsersync/api: Server-side REST API that serves requests from xBrowserSync client apps.

Other freemium solutions also exist, like [Wayback/Archive] Raindrop.io — All-in-one bookmark manager which has [Wayback/Archive] Pricing — Raindrop.io.

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/21

Sometimes the XKCD episodes are hard to get, so I wanted a Bookmarklet to navigate to [Wayback/Archive] explain xkcd.

Here is the regular expression to change the domain name part if it matches: [Wayback/Archive] regex101: build, test, and debug regex: VI34VW with this generated sed code:

A truckload of links which I need for some Bookmarklets work

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/31

A while ago, browser tabs were overflowing again so I first mad the list of links with quotes below, then discovered there is a template for many browser tabs open at [Wayback/Archive] To many browser tabs open Meme Generator – Imgflip

One of the reasons is that the WordPress “Press This” bookmarklet is very slow and also flaky at escaping HTML (for instance the below html – Why shouldn’t &amp;apos; be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow sometimes becomes html – Why shouldn’t <code>'</code> be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow in [Wayback/Archive] Press This – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org especially when running it from Archive Today archived pages).

So here we go: Read the rest of this entry »

Bookmarklet idea: find Wikipedia entry for currently selected text, then (when editing in WordPress) make the selected text link to it

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/05

Two stage bookmarklet idea (so if will be easier to create this in an agile fashion):

  1. create a bookmarklet that looks up the currently selected text in Wikipedia (or another source)
  2. modify the current selection to link to that Wikipedia entry (convenient when editing blog posts)

Hopefully these links will help me getting started:

This is cool as it shows the page source not as it was first loaded, but from how it is currently rendered which includes all post-load modifications by any scripts: [Wayback/Archive] View DOM Source bookmarklet.
