1) Drag the link to your bookmarks bar.
(Alternatively, you can right click on your browser toolbar, and click "New Bookmark" (in Firefox) or "Add Page" (in Chrome), and paste the link in the "location/URL box.

2) Give it any Name you want (eg: Download Youtube)
3) Save it

How to use a Bookmarklet
Whenever you're on a the page that you want to use it, simply click on that bookmark.

Code: [Select]
javascript:(function(){  var currentUrl = encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);  var archiveUrl = 'https://archive.is/submit/?url=%27 + currentUrl;  window.open(archiveUrl, %27_blank%27);})();

Sometimes articles are behind paywalls i.e. new york time. Archive.ph bypass it.
So this is a semi automated way to just click and it will put the URL in and then you can view the page without the paywall.

I have an extension that let's me adjust any video speed in Chrome.
Is there a bookmarklet for it? (that makes it go faster that 2x)

For those who don't yet know:

Bookmarklets are kind of a cross between bookmarks and browser extension - they don't need to be installed; they look just like bookmarks on your bookmarks bar, but instead of loading a page when you click them, they do something to/with the current page.

Here are a couple to start:

1. PWN Youtube: http://deturl.com/bookmarklet-to-directly-download-videos-from-youtube.asp (warning: not so tzniyus picture)
This one will download any video from youtube, in a number of formats.

How to Install:
The link provides instructions - you drag the link they give you to your bookmarks bar.

If you'd rather not open the link, you can right click on your browser toolbar, and click "New Bookmark" (FF) or "Add Page" (Chrome).

Give it any Name you want (eg: Download Youtube), and for Location/URL enter this:
Code: [Select]
javascript:(function(w,d,x){x=new(window.XMLHttpRequest||ActiveXObject)('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');x.onreadystatechange=function(){if(x.readyState==4){if(x.status==200)d.body.appendChild(d.createElement('script')).src=JSON.parse(x.responseText).query.results.url;else%20console.log('ERR',x.status,x.statusText)}};x.open('GET','//query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q='+encodeURIComponent('select%20*%20from%20json%20where%20url="http://noflr.deturl.com/l.asp"')+'&format=json');x.send()})(window,document);
Then save it, and you're good to go.

How to use:
Whenever you're on a youtube page you can click the bookmarklet, and it will give you options of file types to download.

On PC it gets blocked from Techloq
