What is a bookmarklet?

Bookmark or favourite saved in a browser which, instead of forwarding us to a URL, contains JavaScript commands adding new browser functionality. Bookmarklets enable us, for example, to share the page we are visiting on social media, change its design or send the text to a translation service.

The word is an acronym of bookmark and applet (application that must be run using another program, such as a browser).
