Change your bookmark favicon with ease using the Bookmark Favicon Changer extension. Simply click the extension icon or open the options page. Right-click on any bookmark, and a popup menu will appear, offering options to “Change Favicon,” “Reset Favicon,” and “Export Favicon.”

Key Features:

- Use any image file or image URL supported by your browser as a favicon.
- Automatically resize images to a maximum of 512x512 pixels and save them as PNG files.

- Easily reset the favicon back to its original state.

- You can only change the favicon for bookmarks with HTTP, HTTPS, or file protocols due to Chrome’s security permissions.
- To protect your custom favicon, keep the “Bookmark Favicon Changer” extension active; uninstalling the extension will revert your favicon to the default.
- Remember to enable “allow access to file URLs” in your browser extensions settings to change favicons for file URLs.

Chris (ID: 000000adad0adfab) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 For some reason, changing bookmark icons do not work on the extensions own page, but switching to the website that you want itself makes changing the favicon work. Very simple and easy to use, and even better when you see that the last update was nearly a decade ago; this thing works as if it were released yesterday! Great job making something that can stand for so long, I recommend it to anyone looking for Favicon changers.
