Then it would lose browser extension utility or in another words you wouldn't have it under you fingertips ready to use easily at any moment.


Well you could support both or make a browser extension that simply redirects there on click.

Not sure what permissions are needed to get the current url from the plugin though.

Too bad bookmarklets are not really a thing anymore, that would work well.
