var style = '* {-webkit-font-smoothing: auto !important}';

link_element.href = 'data:text/css,' + escape(style);
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(link_element);

Edit: QSA is in IE8... Some reason I thought IE9 was the minimum. Regardless.. QSA is probably not a great idea until IE7 support is killed off.

I would go with @bradchoate's solution, personally. Seems a bit easier to read, and non-WebKit compatibility is a moot point with this bookmarklet.

Just putting in my two-cents to help save bytes here. You can use document.head to get the head element, pass a renamed document variable into the function, the type isn't necessary for style tags to work so it may be omitted

// document.querySelector("head") --> document.head
// nix s.type=%27text/css%27;
// function() … () --> (function(a) … (document)
// document --> a
// snippet size: 156 bytes

javascript:(function(a){var%20b=a.createElement(%27style%27);b.innerText=%27*{-webkit-font-smoothing:auto%20!important}%27,a.head.appendChild(b)})(document)

I did some research, and there's an awesome API called insertAdjacentHTML that works in Safari 4+. Using that API, this is as easy as:

document.head.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<style> * { -webkit-font-smoothing: auto !important } </style>');

How cool is that??

Wow, nicely done potch! I've never even seen that API before. O_o. That totally bests my snippet. bows to the leader of the people-who–actually–lookup–API–goodies

That snippet is completely . ;)

Oops, forgot to wrap the tag… the joke was: That snippet is completely <meta>
