A while ago I made a bookmark add-on which could be used to do something similar. But it sunk without a trace on HN. Posting it here as readers probably already interested in bookmark related stuff...

for what it's worth i think it's pretty cool. if i understand right i can use it for example to change all links from dead site to archive.org, or from youtube.com to my favorite invidious instance.

(i also echo your sentiment that JS is deeply flawed :))

thanks for sharing

Unrelated to this, but is there any extension that lets you easily switch between different instances of a website?

Like dev.example.com/about and example.com/about?

You can probably do that with some "javascript:" URLfoo

You can do this with URLs. For instance, I have just the feeds page of my RSS reader bookmarked.

I adore your name. In case you've not seen it, I think you might enjoy trying out this RSS tool: https://fraidyc.at

If there is a way, please, share it! I have not been able to create relative bookmarks natively and while doing research everything points to bookmarklets, which is what this extension does in the end.

Worth noting, after starting, I added a few extra features that I found useful, like mixing query parameters.
