 > Hi @SirLouen thanks for the ping here. Frankly I'm not so sure if it is
 a good idea to still use bookmarklets (i.e. elevated JS code in a browser
 bookmark). They were pretty popular 10-15 years ago, but have some
 security problems and generally the way browsers work has changed a lot
 since then.

 it needs is to allow plugins to replace the `wp_load_press_this()`
 function? That can easily be done by running that function on an action,
 for example on `plugins_loaded`. Then any plugin will be able to remove
 the default core callback and add its own.

 The reality is that the plugin is almost abandoned but had a minor version
 update 4 months ago.
 https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/issues and one issue some months
 ago

 Not the most sexy plugin in 2025, not gonna lie :)

 This said, I think that the original idea of @kraftbj was simply a copy-
 paste of the initilization code as a filter. A simply posted a PR with the
 adapted original code from him

 If anyone wants to provide a new PR, I could try to test it. This
 action/filter hook-based reports are pretty weird to test though (hence
 most of the stalled reports with patches are mostly of this type)
