Use StumbleUpon Without the Toolbar

Stumble This!I love StumbleUpon as much as the next guy, but the toolbar they provide is quickly becoming cluttered with stuff I don’t really care about viewing. I can understand why they want to get more social and interactive – but the main attraction was to browse through web sites other had marked as interesting.

Since nobody has made a StumbleUpon “light” edition toolbar I was out to seek a way to do much of the functionality I like but maybe via javascript or a bookmarklet. That is when I happened to run across a page that promised to be the toolbarless StumbleUpon.

Here is the bookmarklet you’ll need to give a thumbs up to something and review. Just drag and drop this link onto your Firefox bookmarks bar.

Stumble This!

Apparently I’m not alone. Found this on a few other web sites as well – and makes me wish that StumbleUpon would maybe create a lighter version of the toolbar. Maybe even roll out a secondary extension that just gives me a stumble button to push. Till then though this bookmarklet should do the trick.

  1. Thanks for the tip.

  2. I agree, a light version is needed.

    Or maybe just the option to add or remove buttons from the toolbar so that I can pare it down to just what I need.

  4. Interesting, I agree the old toolbar was nice and simple.

    Huh? I just removed everything from the SU toolbar except SU, up, down & inbox. Than I stuck it on the end of one of the other toolbar lines. Who needs a “light” edition?

    I totally agree with AussieRodney.
    Well it’s what I did too.
