How do you use those plugins that are supposed to be dragged onto bookmarks toolbar? Do you really have the toolbar?
I switched off the bookmarks toolbar from the beginning and didn't yet have a reason to turn it back on.

To do this, make sure you have the bookmarks toolbar visible. Right-click on the menu bar or around the location box, then select 'customise'. Drag 'Bookmark toolbar items' to the white box next to the help menu. You can now hide the bookmark toolbar again.
Now if you add a bookmark to the bookmark toolbar, it appears on the menu bar. You can also drag bookmarklets on to it.
I have been doing it this way for years. Of course, there is less space on the menu bar, so you can't have as many bookmaarks as on a toolbar.
I wonder if I will be able to turn off text next to bookmarklet's icons too; leaving only icons.
Also, in Safari, the first 10 bookmarks in the Bookmarks Bar folder can be activated by pressing Cmd-1, Cmd-2, etc. even when the Bookmarks Bar is not visible.
As for me, I hardly ever need one-click access, certainly not at the price of screen real estate and distraction. Browser remembering recent URLs makes for most of my acceleration needs; for the rest I bookmark sites in my browser or Tumblr.
