| 2. Edit bookmark URL(Chrome) / Location(Firefox) to include this code: javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href+'REPLACETHIS'; | |

| Code: javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href+'REPLACETHIS'; |
How do I make a bookmarklet which adds "about:reader?url=" to the beginning of the URL?
Honestly, I don't think you can from a bookmarklet in modern Chrome due to the security settings. If you try to it redirects you to an about:block page.
Even from the DevTools console if you try the following it's blocked. I certainly don't want to say that it can't be done by somehow loosening security settings, via some JS glitch, or via an extension, but in terms of a traditional bookmarklet that will work for most people, I don't think it's possible. It isn't allowed in modern Firefox either.
location.href = 'about:reader?url=https://www.google.com'
