I don’t know exactly what you mean, but this post is > 2years old so maybe a forum on the subject might be of better help for you.

Is there a something that can be used to block brawler bookmarklets in game playing?

Firefox has, near as I can tell, NO size limitations on bookmarklets. I’ve written a full arcade version of Tetris, and the bookmarklet is 27kb. Just design your “app” as an HTML “page” powered by JavaScript, crunch it, encode the whole thing in base64, and load it as:

javascript:/*Title_and_Credits*/aa=window.open(‘data:text/HTML;base64,
YOURB64HERE’,”,’width=420,height=420,left=0,top=0,scrollbars,resizable,menubar,status,location,toolbar,dependent=yes’);void 1

Bypasses the whole nested-single-and-double-quotes PITA, too.
