Description
Customize bookmark favicons with emojis, 14,000+ Material Design Icons, or your own images. Works with bookmarklets & webhooks. Customize your bookmark icons with emojis, 14,000+ Material Design Icons, or your own images. Give your bookmarks a face. Replace any bookmark's favicon with an emoji, a Material Design Icon (14,000+ glyphs), or your own image — so a glance at your bookmark bar tells you exactly what's what. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU CAN DO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Pick any emoji — rendered at 128×128 so it stays crisp on high-DPI displays. • Search the full Material Design Icons library (14,000+ glyphs) right in the popup. • Upload your own PNG, JPG, or ICO — sizing and caching are handled for you. • Works on plain URLs, javascript: bookmarklets, AND webhook bookmarks. • Every change is reversible — untick the customization and the bookmark is restored. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BOOKMARKLETS, WITH ICONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chrome normally shows bookmarklets with a generic gear. This extension rewrites them into proper icon-carrying launchers while preserving the original JavaScript verbatim inside the URL — so if you ever uninstall, they self-heal back to their original javascript: form. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WEBHOOK BOOKMARKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Tick one box and a bookmark becomes a silent button: clicking it fires the URL in the background without opening a tab. Perfect for Home Assistant, n8n, Zapier, or any "click = do a thing" trigger you want on your bookmark bar. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chrome's favicon cache is keyed by URL and has no public write API, so this extension does the plumbing: Plain URLs — the target is opened once in a small focused-off popup so Chrome caches your chosen favicon for that URL. Bookmarklets — rewritten to an extension launcher page that carries the favicon; the original JS is preserved in the URL and self-heals on reinstall. Webhooks — rewritten to a data:text/html URL with the favicon inlined, fired silently on click. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Local-only storage. No tracking, no analytics, no accounts. Your bookmarks never leave your machine. Host permissions are optional and only requested for the specific domains you customize.
