Tristan Rhodes (ID: 000000da81ec7e1b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/08/2024 Works well, but be mindful about "Entire Site" option. If you want it to work on an entire site, first go to the root site (i.e. www.website.com) if you go to a sub-page (i.e. www.website.com/page1, then it doesn't seem to work for the whole site, and will only work if you select "Single Page". Once i figured that out, it's worked every time by selecting "Entire site" when the page I'm on is at the root of the website.

Mark Lenny (ID: 000000d2b7270daa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/12/2023 Wow! I'm actually surprised this works in 2023 being that this hasn't been updated since 2013!

Kim Takala (ID: 000000e5fb266b46) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 I would give it five stars if there was an option to edit the favicons of sites for which there's no landing page, i.e. a site that logs you in and immediately redirects you to another site. So a way for you to manually enter the url, instead of it being tied to you being on that website with the given url. Currently there's no way to change that. That's sad, because that's the only reason I downloaded this extension.

Tiana Smith (ID: 0000009164e20df7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2023 Worked perfectly. I changed the Twitter X back to the original bird (in Brave browser and Arc browser even). Thank you!

Emmanuel Oyekwe (ID: 00000093643786fa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 Worked great, changed the twitter X back to a bird, now it doesn't look like a porn tab.
