"free, simple tools that extend the surf and search capabilities of JavaScript-capable web browsers. They can ...
- Modify the way you see someone else's webpage.
- Extract data from a webpage.
- Search more quickly, and in ways not possible with a search engine.
- Navigate in new ways.
...and more. Over 150 bookmarklets are available. Bookmarklets work on all platforms (Windows, Macintosh, Unix,...) . You don't have to download or install software. Each bookmarklet is a tiny program (a JavaScript application) contained in a bookmark (the URL is a "javascript:" URL) which can be saved and used the same way you use normal bookmarks. "
Well, for looking up words. Quick links to Thesaurus.com too. There are many other such sites (see below too), but I like this one for everyday lookups. Google uses it too. There's a Bookmarklet for it here.
For harder/deeper word/phrase searches, this site uses multiple other web sites - 4,897,834 words in 848 dictionaries indexed (at time of writing). There's a Bookmarklet for it here.
"The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public."
There's a Bookmarklet for looking up archived web sites with its Wayback Machine here.
" ... the free encyclopedia ... a collaborative project to produce a free and complete encyclopedia in every language."
There are many online encyclopedias, of course. But I like the Wiki concept, and often find this is a great 'first try' source. There's a Bookmarklet for it here.
