Image from store Bookmark Favicon Changer
Description from store Bookmark Favicon Changer 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. - No need to keep the original favicon file after changing it. - Easily reset the favicon back to its original state. - Export your custom favicon for bookmarks. - Assign icons to tab icons for entire domains or subdomains. - Auto-hide bookmark bar names to maximize space. Limitations: - Bookmarks with the same URL will share the same favicon. - 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.

  • (2024-06-23) Станислав Садыков: Как же долго я тебя искал))) - 7 дек. 2015 г. Update: Новый отзыв спустя 9 лет(!) Расширение всё также превосходно выполняет свою работу.
  • (2023-09-07) Paul Claude: L'unico che recupera le favicon in "bulk", peccato lo sviluppo sia fermo dal 2014
  • (2023-08-24) Stefan H.: Funktioniert nicht: Cannot confirm changing of bookmark favicon at....
  • (2023-08-18) Agnaktorex: The style gives me headache, there is no confirmation when you change the icon and the icon does not change when i upload a custom image.
  • (2023-08-10) Chris: 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.
  • (2023-06-04) Magician: Well works with general bookmarks, but doesn't work with Bookmarklets.
  • (2023-05-01) MLT Thomas: Works with most bookmarks. Great product!
  • (2023-04-17) Jaroslaw Istok: Leider reagiert der Author nicht auf mehrere Bitten es unstoppable zu machen. Es findet irgendwann (schnell) z.B. ein YT Video was eigentlich geht aber er sieht einen Fehler darin. Dann darf das ganze von Vorne starten :( schade wäre sonst genial da Chrome bei jedem Umzug Alles favicons verliert.
  • (2023-04-03) Aussie Bob: Does not work - tried multiple times and many different ways - total rubbish.
  • (2023-01-12) Anna Brandberg: Doesn't work. It appears to work initially (albeit a veeery low-resolution icon), but as soon as you click the bookmark, the icon resets :(
  • (2022-12-14) 1: Hi, it didnt work: Cannot confirm changing of bookmark favicon at: ************
  • (2022-08-22) Ranford B: This Bookmark Favicon Changer does its job but it has many glitches the loading bar that is supposed to show you how more long the process is going to take doesn't work and there seems to be a error popping up saying some error but it works
  • (2022-08-22) Talikira: Doesn't work with Folders
  • (2022-07-14) Daniel Miller: Excellent, simple and intuitive. Works as advertised on Google Chrome Version 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) (64-bit). Big + is that you can upload any image instead of favicon.ico without cropping or resizing. Kudos to developers!
  • (2022-06-03) alkafank: Thanks, fixed some broken favicons and i happy now)
  • (2022-02-22) Greener Scenery: No longer functions. Icons reset every time you restart your computer. Worked great for years, but now it's time to find something new.
  • (2022-01-11) Len Kowalik: I could not get this to work, but I do not know why. I had a site bookmarked and open. I clicked on this extension and then chose Change Favicon, selected an image, and opened it. The icon on the tab changed, but not the one on the bookmarks bar. When I clicked on the bookmark In the bookmarks bar, the icon reverted to the previous one. I tried another favicon changer, and it was very straightforward, beginning with browse for an image. I would give this one star, but I suspect that I was doing something wrong. Having said that, I used an obvious navigation in the extension and nothing happened.
  • (2021-07-07) Werner Schott: Version 91.0.4472.124 (Official Build) (64-bit). Didn't work at all. Followed instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Niab0HcDCQw
  • (2021-06-14) Thibault Messemacre: Really powerful tool, not always super straightforward but still works a charm
  • (2021-04-26) Alan DJIGSTAR: ничего не работает и ничего непонятно
  • (2021-02-23) Damien Kettler: Works perfectly even in Vivaldi Browser.
  • (2021-02-20) Haodong Du: Does not work bookmarklet. The shortcut thing seems like a good idea. But the popup is blocked by Chrome, and there is no way to override that.
  • (2021-02-11) J Caponi: Works as advertised but you cannot use it for Folders. Which is what I wanted it for. I am so sick of those yellow folders. I will have to find an extension for that. It's still cool to change your icons though.
  • (2021-01-31) Yannick le Restif: The UX is really very bad, but that kind of wouldn't matter if it worked... but for me it didn't. Even the "custom bookmark" (the one that redirects to the actual bookmark) didn't work. The bookmark icon is just not changed at all. The extension worked for a few minutes when I tried from the "bookmark favicon" of the options page... until I clicked the bookmark, which made the icon revert. PS. I'm happy to change my review if there is something I missed.
  • (2020-10-31) X. Peng: awesome! thanks.
  • (2020-09-15) Alexis McDonald: The quality of favicons are always so low, and pixelated. Do yourself a favor, and download the other favicon changer extension chrome has to offer (called "favicon changer"). I WILL say that my issue with that one is that for some reason, on one specific bookmark, clicking on its favicon makes the image/favicon disappear from the bookmark and tab- but then clicking again refreshes and restores it. It's a bit annoying, but at least your favicons look somewhat more crisp all the time, and one extra click is hardly as troublesome as constantly having pixelated icons.
  • (2020-09-11) Edgar R.: Waste of time! It doesn't work! I followed all the steps and when I clic the icon, it reverts to the original one.
  • (2020-07-16) 王康: 感谢你制作了这个应用
  • (2020-06-23) mayre: Works just like it's supposed to! No problems on my chromebook :)
  • (2020-02-25) Danilо: Add the possibility to change folder icons
  • (2020-01-20) Taylor Wingfield: As a proponent of using the bookmark bar with nothing but Favicons without names or descriptions, This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
  • (2019-12-09) mirai: idk why this is 1 star it works it changes the icon easily it does what it says
  • (2019-11-08) Haran G: Does the job. Sorted!
  • (2019-07-09) Donal Goggin: I got this to add a favicon to a bookmarklet but the option is greyed out and doesn't provide a reason why. None of these extensions I've tried seem to be able to do it, so I suspect it's an issue with chrome not allowing it, but at the very least an error or info message should have been shown.
  • (2019-06-17) Thea Nguyen: Still work & remember all my settings after re-installing Windows & Chrome! No bugs so far.
  • (2019-06-04) Sankalp Bohra: Poor UI with great functionality.
  • (2019-05-11) 赵杰: 如果,支持中文就太好了。
  • (2019-02-28) Владимир Гусев: Very nice )
  • (2019-02-25) Micah Mattei: Seemed tricky to use at first but it worked well! Make sure you have the right kind of picture in mind, nothing too elaborate
  • (2018-10-20) Excellent ! Why didn't i find this extension early ?
  • (2018-10-18) Emil Atanasov: good
  • (2018-10-09) theLMGN: Works, for a bit. Doesn't allow you to change favicon of non http: (read javascript: bookmarklets) and if you do change it of one it will let you change, it'll go back to the site default when you click on it! UI is confusing also.
  • (2018-06-26) Sam Burns: Not sure what others have against it in order to rate it so low, but I can confirm it appears to be working flawlessly on the latest version of Chrome as of June 26th, 2018 (Windows 10 x64 v1803). Thank you to the developer of this valued extension. As a former Firefox user, 'Bookmark Favicon Changer' was on my list of essential addons. Cheers :-)
  • (2018-06-22) Jordan Kolbaba: Doesn't work.
  • (2018-06-11) Keivan Shalileh: It works very well. You just need a PNG file and you can easily change the icon for those iconless pages. I have many pages in my bookmarks bar, so this will help me avoid putting names for them and just find them by the icon.
  • (2018-06-05) almightytallestred: works fine for me (Windows 8 + latest Chrome version)
  • (2018-05-01) Chuck Hildebrandt: I used to use this for years and it worked great, but now it's terrible. It took me 19 hours to get favicons for 90% of my bookmarks, until it crapped out on me. I went to save the favicon database and that didn't. It said i needed at least version 2.00. I have version 2.21. It also kicked me off my VPN, which is a huge no-no. I have favicons now, but at some point Chrome will wipe them all out when i close it out and i will be back at square one. It sucks because, like I say, it worked great for years. And now it doesn't work well at all. And the thing has not been supported in four years. YMMV, buy caveat emptor on this.
  • (2018-03-21) Christine Diamond: Doesn't do what I wanted. I wanted to be able to change the folder icon (on a folder of bookmarks on my Chrome Bookmarks bar) to a favicon, instead.
  • (2018-03-08) Brandon Justice: Excellent, simple and intuitive. Works as advertised, no issues getting a favicon changed my first go around. To Developer: Only issue I had was the amount of time that lapses when I go to exit the tab from the settings (any w/ extension) page(s). I will try to change network error lapse time to 0 or a few seconds and see if that doesn't help it but I will update you either way. Update: Reset network error time lapse down to 1 second and still having same issue of long delay (I counted 10 seconds) on tab exit. Please advise when you can. Thanks!
  • (2018-02-11) L Clarke: Very non-intuitive; "Help" feature should be renamed "Help - we don't speak English!" Big fail!
