Right now the Mac edition of the Chrome browser unfortunately doesn’t allow its users to add bookmarklets nor to modify existing bookmarks.

This means that it is impossible to install the Delicious bookmarklets that make so fast and easy adding bookmarks and using the service’s features.

However, there is a workaround: by modifying the file in which Google’s browser saves its bookmarks you can get a Delicious-enabled Chrome (or Chromium).

Here’s a proof:

Here’s how you can do it.

Requirements:

-) An account on Delicious.com

-) A Macintosh with an Intel processor

-) An installed copy of Google Chrome for Mac
www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=mac
or Chromium for Mac
build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/mac/LATEST/

The How-to:

1) If running, quit your copy of Google Chrome or Chromium

2) Download this file:
www.nicoladagostino.net/altro/bookmarksfile.txt

3) Rename it Bookmarks (with a capital B and no extension)

4) Go to
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
(if you are using Google Chrome)
or to
~/Library/Application Support/Chromium
(if you are using Chromium)

5) Take out and/or replace the Bookmarks file which is in this directory with the download one

6) Launch Google Chrome o Chromium

7) Verify if the Bookmarks menu lists ” -> Delicious ” and ” my Delicious bookmarks ”

8) Login on Delicious.com

9) Send me some feedback if the two links work ;-)

13′000 bookmarks on Delicious.com and great chunk of thos bookmarks have been useful (and in active use on many websites). :)

And for the record some of the gems came from the People/Network section.

To this I’d like to add that the old (and incomplete) version was brilliant. The storytelling was done with a series of single panels so don’t miss the new online publication, if only just to see how it ends. :)

Today Warren Ellis started his new “Do Anything” column at Bleeding Cool.

Unfortunately the website only has one generic feed so I took the liberty to create a new feed which shows just Ellis’ column: http://pipes.yahoo.com/nicoladagostino/doanythingellis
Use freely and at your own risk. ;-)

For the technically conscious: the feed was created with Yahoo! Pipes: you can inspect, copy, reuse and do other things with my ‘pipe’ as with the others in my account.
