The Browser Superpower You're Not Using: Bookmarklets

I was working with a RAG system where I had to delete Qdrant records for testing purposes, and the deletion process required two steps. Do that a few dozen times and you want to throw your laptop out the window.

So I made a bookmarklet, basically a bookmark that runs JavaScript instead of opening a page. One click, both steps done. No extensions, no installs, works in any browser. Saved me 4-5 minutes every time I had to test.

If you've never used bookmarklets, they're an easy way to automate repetitive browser stuff. Just paste some JS into a bookmark URL, click it on the page you need, and boom. You go from two clicks to one.
