Is it possible to run a bookmarklet on Chrome by selecting it from the bookmark?
I am using Chrome for Android. If I have a bookmarklet saved as a bookmark, then I am able to run it by: 1. Typing its name in the address bar until it shows. 2. Clicking the upward-leftward pointing diagonal arrow next to it to load it into the address bar. 3. Clicking enter. I am *not* able to run...
I am using Chrome for Android. If I have a bookmarklet saved as a bookmark, then I am able to run it by: 1. Typing its name in the address bar until it shows. 2. Clicking the upward-leftward pointing diagonal arrow next to it to load it into the address bar. 3. Clicking enter. I am *not* able to run a bookmarklet that I have saved as a bookmark by: 1. Opening Chrome's vertically-aligned three-dot menu. 2. Selecting Bookmarks. 3. Navigating to the bookmarklet's entry. 4. Clicking the entry. I don't want to run my bookmarklets using the first method. I want to run them by going to them in the bookmarks menu (like the second method). If I click any other bookmark in the bookmarks menu, Chrome will navigate to the page. I expect to be able to run bookmarklets from the bookmarks menu. Is it possible to run a bookmarklet on Chrome by selecting it from the bookmark?

On my Android phone, how can a user add a bookmarklet to my Chrome bookmarks, *without needing to use another device, and without copying and pasting?* I have a bookmarklet on my website that I want *other people* to add to their bookmarks, so I'm looking for a straightforward method. Bookmarklets are bookmarks, but of which contain Javascript code instead of a regular web link. Bookmarklets can be added to Chrome on the PC very easily in many ways. - However, on Android, if the bookmarklet is displayed as a link on a page, it cannot be "dragged to the bookmark bar" as with a PC. - If I try to open it in a new tab, the address bar will not contain the Javascript, so the user can't use the bookmark button. - Tapping the link to the bookmarklet will not put the code in the address bar either. - The only way I've been able to add a bookmarklet on my phone has been to tap and hold on the link, then tap "Copy link address", then edit a *pre-existing* bookmark's link and pasting in the bookmarklet code, then renaming said bookmark. But that's a pain, and trying to explain it to non tech savy folks isn't happening. Is there a more simple method? Note that I have a particular bookmarklet that even when added on my PC, does NOT sync to my Phone's bookmarks. I believe it may be due to the length (It's over 9000 characters!). This is why I need an easy method for users to save this bookmarklet.

How do I save `javascript:` URLs in Android's browser?
I've tried tap & hold, like regular URLs, but the menu never pops up. Is there a way to enable that or do I just have to copy and paste the URL into a bookmark ([like this][1])?
