Public bug reported:
In many of today's browser, it is possible to bookmark a javascript: URL
. When clicking on such a bookmark, the javascript code snippet is
executed within the context of the currently shown page.
Attempting to do this in the Ubuntu Phone web browser pops up a new tab
with an about:blank page...
Bookmarklets would be handy to work around other deficiencies in the
browser (such as lack of form autocompletion or password manager, bug
#1516220): just have some javascript bookmark that fills in the required
fields (I know, there are security implications, but for unimportant
social networking sites this would be ok)
