How to make a Delicious “plugin” for Chrome

by Ryan • Sep 16th, 2008 • Category: Quick Tips, Web

When I migrated my browsing habits to Chrome a couple weeks back one of my big holdups was that Google Chrome didn’t have a Delicious plugin for quickly bookmarking links.

However, with just a tad of javascript you can correct this Chrome shortcoming.

Simply drag the following link to your Google Chrome Bookmarks bar:

Delicious Bookmark

Now, when you want to bookmark a page on Delicious, simply click the bookmark. Easy, huh?

Sadly, unlike Firefox’s plugin, this does nothing to integrate Del.icio.us bookmarks with Google Chrome’s bookmarks, but hopefully a fix for that is not far away.

Super! Thanks man! Now, where’s the delicious bookmark integration like the firefox plugin?
Ryan May 27th, 2009 7:57 pm:

@Tony: No kidding! Chrome’s been out for ages now, and still no plugin integration. I’m losing faith.
MacAnthony June 4th, 2009 9:28 am:

This is way cooler than the delicious supplied bookmarklet. I came up with a semi-solution to get me access to my delicious bookmarks. It uses the keyword search to search my personal bookmark list. Not exactly what I was used to in FF, but it’ll get me by for now.

Great tip! I’ve been hesitant about switching over to Google Chrome because I loved Firefox so much and because of all the add-ons I was accustomed to having. Hopefully more of these add-ons will start becoming available for Chrome.

Help! I (accidently) added this several times, and can’t figure out how to delete the extra ‘Bookmark on Delicious” icon thingys from the bookmark list. What ever shall I do?

Thanks. (I’m a not a digital native, so patience please!)
jakeonfire March 14th, 2010 3:33 am:

to remove, try right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting ‘delete’.

And FYI there is an “official” extension for Chrome now which properly integrates delicious into the toolbar:

Thank you so much! Extension sucked & didn’t work. (Everything stopped after I pressed the “save” button.)

Chrome’s got a long way to go compared to Firefox, customization-wise.

This works! THANK YOU!!
