Bookmark's Favicon Changer

An easilier way to change your EDGE bookmark favicon

Bookmark's Favicon Changer - Edge Add-on for Personalizing Bookmarks

Bookmark's Favicon Changer is an innovative add-on designed specifically for the Edge browser. It gives users the capacity to alter the favicon of their bookmarked websites, ensuring they appear unique, are distinguishable, and resonate with the user's preferences. This enhances the browsing experience and efficiency in website identification. However, user's are required to enable the option 'allow access to file URLs' on their browser extensions page, and to keep the extension active for continued usage of custom favicons.
