Bookmark's Favicon Changer
An easilier way to change your EDGE bookmark favicon
What is Bookmark's Favicon Changer?
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.

It technically works for static URLs, it does not apply if you have a base URL with variables at the end. In my example I tried to change the icon for Facebook Messenger but it would not work as it said I didn't have the page bookmarked yet due to the individual message variables in the URL

The extension does what is says it does just for the first time, when you set it up for a specific page. When page refreshes, favicon is being turned back to default, ignoring what the user set up. When user goes to any other subpage, favicon is being changed to default. Still not the fully functional extension that it needs to be for end user.
