Unable to reproduce this on Chrome 118. I just ended up with an untitled bookmark.

Still interesting to look at Chromium's source to see that they have unit tests for bookmarklets [1]. Also looks like people "frequently" report running JS from bookmarks as an XSS vulnerability [2]

Did you drag and drop it? Which OS? It works for me on Windows.

It doesn't seem to work on Chromium on Ubuntu. I don't have a Mac to try it on, perhaps someone else can try it.

Doesn't work on macOS for me. Huh.
