    Safari Bookmarklet

    Hi,

    I was just wondering if anyone would recommend the Safari/Opera Bookmarklet. Personally, I like Safari better than Firefox, especially in speed, but when researching security or doing normal browsing, I'd use Firefox, because I have WOT. However, I know a bookmarklet is available for Safari, but I'd like to see screenshots or know what's in it. Is it just like the Firefox one?

    Also, if you get it, are you able to take it off?

    Thanks!

    Re: Safari Bookmarklet

    A bookmarklet is just a bookmark, which includes some JavaScript. You can remove it from your browser like any other bookmark. Our bookmarklet looks the same on Firefox and Safari, you can see what it looks like by simply clicking the bookmarklet link on the blog post. However, the bookmarklet only shows you the site's rating on a small pop-up window, so it's hardly a replacement for the add-on.

    Safari Bookmarklet

    Hi,

    Thanks for replying!

    You pretty much answered all of my questions, but I have one more. Will it block/warn me of bad websites, or will I have to manually view and open it on each website I go to?

      I only shows you the rating, and even that only when you click the bookmark.

    WOT for Safari

    Hi,

    I installed WOT on my Safari browser and, as instructed, dragged the link to my Bookmarks.

    When I went to a questionable website (as warned by WOT in my Firefox browser) and clicked on the Bookmarklet in my Bookmarks, all I got was the WOT website replacing the questionable website.

    Am I doing something incorrectly?

    Thanks.

      Re: Bookmarklet

      Hmm, it sounds like you might have bookmarked the wrong link. Does the URL on the link you bookmarked start with "javascript:"?
