If you keep it in Safaris bookmarks bar as the first bookmark you can press Cmd-Opt-1 to activate it. The first nine bookmarks in the bookmarks bar are available this way.

I tried it on cnn.com. It works but also if the element is clickable the link (object) is clicked and I'm taking to the page behind the elements link.

Ok, I updated the script with a event.preventDefault in the click handler that will avoid the "following the link" issue. CNN is still problematic in that it's possible to delete the video playing but the div stays there, and at that point you might as well just hit the pause button. I'll have to figure out the capturing on that.

Hi Brett, I was able to do drag it into Safari, but what do I do for Firefox?

If your menubar is showing in Firefox (View->Toolbars->Bookmarks Toolbar), you can drag it the exact same way. You can always just copy the bookmarklet with a right click, copy link, and then add a bookmark for the current page (⌘D) and edit it, pasting the copied link into it and renaming it.
