Zemanta bookmarklet for Chrome and Safari

Posted by jure, under releases on March 12th, 2009

State of the art browsers are something that we’re really excited about and we can understand why most active bloggers are switching to them as soon as they arrive – they’re fast, reliable and offer interesting candy. Too bad that Chrome and Safari don’t support browser extensions yet. As usual in computing, there’s a workaround for this.

Today we’re presenting you something from our Labs – Zemanta Bookmarklet for Chrome and Safari (it also works in Firefox and IE!). The way it works is that you generate a special link, Bookmarklet, that you drag and drop to your Bookmarks bar. Then every time you want to activate Zemanta, you just press it and it’s going to appear if we support that editor. For now we support everything that would work with our Firefox or Internet Explorer extensions.

Zemanta Chrome Bookmarklet

If you’re already registered user of Zemanta, you’ll just have to login once into the preferences and your settings will be synchronized across your Zemanta plugins and extensions.

It’s just that simple. Now give Zemanta bookmarklet a try.

Btw, Jure will be at South By Southwest and MIX ‘09 this week, so give him a shout if you’re there and want to meet.

  • Just loaded this new app to Safari running on a mac and no joy, I am a huge fan of Zementa and use it constantly on Firefox when adding blogs to my CPD site, but tried it in safari and it did not work, this is not a problem as I rate Firefox, so will wait for this to be sorted.

    can you give us any more info?

    Which exact version of Safari? On which blogging platform? A screenshot of editing page immediately after you click on the bookmarklet?

    Thank you in advance for helping with this bug!

    bye
