Chrome Bookmarks

An easilier way to change your Chrome bookmark favicon

Chrome Bookmarks – Unique Favicon Customization

Chrome Bookmarks is a unique extension providing users the flexibility to quickly and easily change the favicon of their bookmarked URLs. It renders a personal touch to your bookmarks by making them stand out. However, it requires the option 'allow access to file URLs' to be enabled in the browser extensions page. Also, this extension needs to remain active for the customized favicons to persist. It does not associate directly with Google and is developed by an independent team.

doesnt work

I tried two other favicon changers and this was the only one I could get to work, so I guess it has that going for it. As a previous reviewer mentioned, you have to open the bookmarked page you want to change the favicon for; then change the favicon; and finally, you have to click to close the favicon changer dialog, then open it again before the favicon changes. What it actually does is change the favicon in the page's tab and thus create a corresponding change in the bookmark favicon. I'm probably dreaming, but what I'd really like is to be able to change the icon for a whole domain. It does change the bookmark favicon though and that's what I wanted it for. Thanks.
