(2025-03-23) Pray to the “Appletree”: a bit buggy but nice
(2025-03-06) xu444_shan: unfortunately it's no longer working :(
(2024-08-27) Gio Sal: This is a MUST HAVE 5-star extension, at least for me. Seeing notifications that "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Appears this app has been abandoned since 2013, but hope the dev can at least get the app updated to meet the 'best practices'.
(2024-07-23) Zedroid: not working on reddit. the default shrinks when loading edit: disguise website as chatgpt from greasyfork
(2024-07-20) Ralph Worth: Another extension that doesn't work - useless instructions
(2024-04-26) Marco Evangelista: Finally I can add a coloured icon for all those websites that have a black icon!
(2024-03-08) Tristan Rhodes: 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.

(2023-12-28) donal goggin: Doesn't do what it says. Can't edit bookmarks, only webpage favicons. Useless for bookmarklets
(2023-12-12) Mark Lenny: Wow! I'm actually surprised this works in 2023 being that this hasn't been updated since 2013!

(2023-10-05) Kim Takala: 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.

(2022-11-10) Florian “furomin” Gaul: Great extensions! Does exactly what the name states! Now I can finally add favicons to sites I use that have none and even change an existing one! Just open the site you want, click the browse button (in the popup) and select a new icon. You can choose between changing the icon on a site level or per single page. Congrats dev, you did a great job!

(2022-03-05) Mark Newman: I have three html pages on a local drive and have assigned each one a new favicon. (Each web page contains a different list of things that I refer to a lot.) Each favicon is in its own folder. They install correctly but after the first time you open the local html page, they all revert back to the last .ico used. In other words, the procedure isn't 'sticky'.

(2022-01-12) Alex West: This is a great chrome extension. The GUI is very ugly, but it is easy to use, and works like a charm. You simply have to choose wether to use the favicon for a single page, or an entire website, and then you need to choose the image, and press change. That's it! You have your own favicon for that website! Some people have been complaining about the file path thing, an easy way to get around it is to press the "Browse" button, which will open up Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows) and you can just choose the image from there. I love this extension! 100/10!

(2021-10-29) Ian Rae: Works ok at first, but keeps forgetting about the favicon and going back to the original. Not something I want to keep setting. If it kept working, I'd give it 5 stars.
