Chrome now has this functionality built in, FYI.

True, thank you, but I still use this bookmarklet as it's already a part of my workflow. Plus it's cross-browser, whereas Chrome's implementation has not trickled down to the Chromium-based browsers yet at this time (just checked Microsoft Edge for Android). I'm a Firefox user myself and it seems not native to that browser yet.
