About

I used a machine to create this bookmarklet because I was getting increasingly frustrated with how difficult it is to copy and paste a webpage's title.

Code

javascript:(function(){const%20title=document.title;const%20description=document.querySelector('meta[name="description"]')?.getAttribute('content')||'';const%20url=window.location.href;alert(`Title:\n${title}\n\nDescription:\n${description}\n\nURL:\n${url}`);})();

Install

  1. Open a new tab and surf to about:blank.
  2. Add the URL to your Favourites Bar.
  3. Right-click, Rename, change to something like deets.
  4. Right-click, Edit, paste in the above JavaScript code.
  5. Fin!
