Bookmarklets no longer work after 2.0.4 update

In this post I described how to use bookmarklets in the browser. They no longer work after the 2.0.4.13 update.

Mostly they do nothing - and freeze the tab. The example I gave in the above thread javascript:alert("This is a bookmarklet"); does output the alert but then freezes, proving that the javascript: method still works. The 'scroll to top/bottom of page' bookmarklets do not work any more.

Running the browser from the console outputs no errors. I can see JS errors generated by the websites.

Bookmarklets might seem like an esoteric pursuit but I use them a lot. The browser doesn't support addons and I've implemented some of my addons as bookmarklets. For example I'm using bookmarklets to implement some of the functions of my JTC addon

Is it possible to revert just the browser update, BTW?

Bookmarklets worked? How did you create them? Sorry but I tried stuff like supergenpass but failed (in older versions of course)

@cy8aer See the first link in my question.

Frequently-used bookmarklets need to be in the first 2 rows of icons, then it's just two taps.
