What is Bookmark Favicon Changer?

'Bookmark Favicon Changer' is a Chrome extension developed to allow users to modify their bookmark favicons. It lets users change favicons using any image file or URL, with support for all image sizes. The extension also provides simple bookmark management, the creation of bookmark shortcuts, bookmark bar name auto-hide, and database import/export features. However, it requires access to file URLs to change them and should remain active to preserve custom favicons.
