Description

It would be nice to have a bookmarklet to drag images to and either have squoosh.app to open with that image compressed or get it directly copied into clipboard, ready to be pasted.

Research direction
Investigate how squoosh.app handles image loading and compression via URL parameters or drag and drop. Look at existing bookmarklet examples for ideas. Examine the source code in src/ directory, particularly components related to image input and processing. The issue mentions two possible behaviors: opening squoosh with the image or directly copying compressed image to clipboard. Determine which approach is feasible and define clear specification. Check if there are any existing bookmarklet implementations in the repo or related projects.
