Nofollow Highlighting In Google Chrome

28th November 2008 - 1 minute read time

I found this excellent bookmarklet the other day which allows you to see nofollow links quickly and easily in Chrome most modern browsers.

Nofollow?

The bookmarklet consists of the following JavaScript.

javascript:function%20highlightNofollow(){var%20newStyle=document.createElement('style');newStyle.type='text/css';newStyle.appendChild(document.createTextNode('a[rel~=nofollow]{border:1px%20dashed%20#852!%20important;background-color:#fcc!%20important;}'));document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(newStyle);};highlightNofollow();

Which basically puts the following CSS rules into your document, thus highlighting any links with the rel="nofollow" attribute.

a[rel~=nofollow] {
 border:1px dashed #852! important;
 background-color:#fcc! important;
}

Take a look at the bookmarklet on johnmu.com.

Using Shadow DOM

23rd March 2021

When I first heard the term "Shadow DOM" I had to laugh at the name. I had visions of a cloak and dagger HTML element that would only be seen on the dark web. Or some sort of nefarious shadow site that was the after effect of a hack.
