There is a version that will stay in place whilst you move between web
pages which is the one where you embed the code within your website and
this should work with Moodle.

Have you tried the Moodle Accessibility block which also has ATbar?
https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=block_accessibility

We are updating the toolbar at the moment and hope to solve some of the
issues that using a bookmark or favorite causes - the main one being a
lack of persistence between websites and web pages - Google Chrome
extensions can help if you use that browser
https://www.atbar.org/download/  The other issue being with iframes that
lock out a bookmark addon

Do keep in touch and please let us know about any issues that arise.

Many thanks.

Best wishes
E.A.
