This is a bookmarklet to anyone who doesn't know. Code is here also for convenience:

Is book marklet

I think it could be improved by adding some styles to the inserted textarea, such as opacity, or position absolute, or even a pointer events to make sure it is invisible and doesn't interact. Display: none does not work as then select and copy will not work.
