I have a bookmarklet with the following definition (i.e., a bookmark with the following text in the "location" field):

javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Search%20wikepedia',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search='+escape(Qr)

With it, I can select some text in a webpage and activate the bookmarklet to search the text in wikipedia. I have other bookmarklets with similar functionality.

These bookmarklets are all silently blocked. (The javascript executes, but it does not load the desired page.)

It would be preferable is bookmarklets are not blocked, or at least there should be an option to enable them.
