I know basically nothing about how to run JavaScript or how it is supposed to work in a bookmark. I just see pages on how it is supposed to work and I can't figure it out!!1
Can I run JavaScript from a bookmark on a phone?
I am using an Android and the chrome app. I edit my bookmark and put examples that I have found online and I don't see it doing anything.
If it is possible, can someone post something that I can literally copy/paste into the bookmark for chrome and see it do something like say hello world
?
I have tried javascript:(alert("hello world");)
and javascript:(function(){alert("hello world");})
I looked at these links and couldn't figure it out:

What am I doing wrong???
I thought we can not use bookmarklets on mobile but after this question, I did a small research and here is the result:
We can set up a bookmarklet on Chrome and then use it on our phone This is the way we can do it:
On your desktop browser, right-click on the bookmarks bar and select "Add Page" or "Add Bookmark" from the menu. In the "Name" field, enter a name for your bookmarklet. In the "URL" field, enter the following code:
javascript:(function() {
alert("This is my test bookmarklet")
})();
(This is just a test code and within the function, you can write your own code)
Now in the mobile browser, open up a page, and then within that page type your bookmarklet name(It has a star beside it) and then click it to see the alert test. Here's the result on desktop and mobile:
