Bookmarklets no longer install via drag-and-drop in Chrome 69

It looks like the latest version of chrome prevents creating bookmarks of any kind my dragging and dropping a link onto the bookmark bar.

For example, if you go to HN's bookmarklet page and try to follow the instructions, it doesn't work. https://news.ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html

Anyone know if this is a known issue, new bug, or intentional? I tried to search through the changelog for "bookmark"/"bookmarklet", but it's just too much to parse through.
