hermits_cove_products (ID: 000000f3a98520e0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/09/2023 Dear Sir/Madam, I think that the extension should allow for the favicon and web address links to be pasted at once. I have made a video on youtube to try to explain my suggestion and I would appreciate if you would watch it if you think that the suggestion might be handy. https://youtu.be/TdSdKylxqGM?si=WQg9FVkcH2POXegO. Although I mention a different favicon extension in this video I am sharing this suggestion in case you find the suggestion helpful and might be able to use it to also improve your extension.
