![]() Advertisers pay large sums for that targeting." Instead, Google collects information about its users and makes money selling advertising targeted at them. Google, famously, does not directly charge users. "The Google juggernaut rests on a grand bargain. Here's a paragraph from Oracle's opening brief in that appeal: What they're really doing most of the time is trying to gain control of the web for themselves and their products."Ĭase in point: the Acer-Alibaba-Aliyun story, which has a Chinese ministry concerned over discriminatory access to source code and was recently mentioned by organizations representing American creatives in an amicus curiae brief filed in the Oracle Android/Java copyright infringement case. "'Open' has very little to do with anything they do. I encourage you to read the original post, but let me quickly quote the two most important sentences: In connection with Google's court-established infringement of IP and, in certain contexts, intentional use of third-party material without a license, Marco thankfully links to my blog (twice). I also wrote that Google's license deal with MPEG LA is inconsistent with its previous denial of infringement and pointed to a Google email that references (among other things) FRAND licensing terms. You make these changes at your own risk.Marco Arment, the author of the wildly popular Instapaper app (which is available on multiple platforms including Android), just published a blog post that starts with a link to and quote from an AppleInsider article entitled "Google admits WebM infringes H.264 patents". It's possible that when they do, these manually modified versions could cause some issues, and if that happens I can't be held responsible for any future headaches (though I'll amend this post on how to fix the problems if this ever happens). It's worth stating that this isn't an officially sanctioned technique, and hopefully Microsoft will give us a much more user friendly method soon. Once you've converted your bookmarks to bookmarklets, restart Microsoft Edge and you should be done! So far I've used this technique for Instatpaper and Pocket but it should work for any bookmarklet. You can go to the General tab and change the name of the bookmarklet, or you can do that in Microsoft Edge later. Pick the Web Document tab and paste the contents of your bookmarklet into the URL: field, then click the Apply box. Right click on the shortcut you want to convert to a bookmarklet. For Chrome and Firefox, right click the bookmarklet and choose Copy from the menu that pops up. If you're coming from Chrome or another browser it might be easier to copy the code from there. I checked on both a Windows 10 Home and a Windows 10 Pro system and I found them at:Ĭ:\Users\iprl5() void(0) Now it's time to edit that bookmark, and the biggest challenge is finding where Edge hides its bookmark files. (By using a page from the site you want to associate with the bookmarklet you wind up with an appropriate icon in the final product.) You should now see your future bookmarklet in the Windows Edge favorites bar, above the webpage content and below the area that holds the location bar and command icons. So for example I went to Instapaper's save page ( ) and bookmarked that, choosing to save it in the Favorites Bar. I found it easy to start by creating some 'placeholder' bookmarks. Maybe you'll have better luck.Īssuming you don't, there's more work to do. I assumed I could just import all my bookmarks from Chrome but doing so didn't seem to work for bookmarklets. Now at least you have some place to put bookmarklets. In Edge go to the three dot menu in the top right corner, pick Settings from the drop down, and turn on "Show the Favorites Bar." Here's how.įirst, you need to expose the bookmark bar. With a bit of fiddling you can install bookmarklets 'manually'. The usual way to install a bookmarklet is just to drag it to the address bar, but that doesn't work in Edge. For instance I use Instapaper and they offer a bookmarklet that lets me send any page to my Instapaper archive. Bookmarklets are shortcuts that actually run javascript snippets, usually to add a page to a service.
