  Indeed, they do.  I've got the inc/decrement, up, and top
bookmarklets in my bookmark toolbar.

  Similar to bookmarklets, but not needing any JavaScript-fu, are
"quick searches", which are driven by "browser keywords".  For
example, I have this location bookmarked

          http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

with a keyword of "g".  I can thus type

          g foo

into the "locaiton bar" to go a Google search.  Some others I use all the time:

gg	http://www.google.com/groups?q=%s
gi	http://www.google.com/images?q=%s
gl	http://www.google.com/local?q=%s
gn	http://www.google.com/news?q=%s
wp	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s
wps	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s
mskb	http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;%s
def	http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=%s
af	http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=%s

  You get the idea.  :)
