I'd love to have such a feature, but this doesn't work for me. On Chrome, it's in my bookmark bar but it has no effect. On Firefox, it doesn't allow dragging to the bookmark sidebar. (I actually don't see how it could possibly work - how could something sitting in the bookmark bar have such an effect? But I'm happy to grant the possibility there are things I don't know about how browsers work.)

What am I missing?

You have to click it to make it do anything. It's a bookmarklet.

Here's the introduction:

When you properly install it, instead of the link, there should be an executable code in the bookmark (if it starts with http: or something, it isn't). To activate the code, first you visit the page on which you want the code to work, then you click at the bookmarklet.

Ah! That works, thanks!
