Sharing bookmarklet fails on many sites with "duplicate define: jquery"

  • Problem
  • Updated 2 months ago
Visit e.g. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesi... and attempt to use the share bookmarklet. The title will change but the sharing dialog will not appear due to an exception raised in the bookmarklet's code:

Uncaught Error: duplicate define: jquery francis-bedford-royal-tour-middle-east-first-official-photographer:249

I've noticed this on other sites; theguardian.com is merely the most recent.

Sorry, I took a look at it and could not figure it out. They're doing something non-standard, but I can't figure out why.

My current workaround is to use the developer tools to disable JavaScript, reload the page, enable JavaScript and use the bookmarklet. I think it'd make more sense to focus on adding the ability to share URLs in Newsblur instead.
