bookmarklet

Toolbar JavaScript button

A bookmarklet is a small program stored as a browser bookmark.

Instead of linking to a webpage, it contains JavaScript code that runs when clicked—modifying the current page, extracting information, or performing quick tasks: I use a bookmarklet to save articles to my reading list.

The word blends bookmark with applet.
