Favicons for bookmarks broken since Edge v149 update
I've recently had Edge update to the v149.0.4022.52 stable-channel releases, and ALL my bookmarks now have no favicons. When I visit any webpage, Edge successfully loads the favicon for the tab of that website. But when I visit a bookmark, the favicon doesn't get updated after it has loaded for the site. And new bookmarks I add also don't show a favicon. If I go into my Edge profile-folder (which can found via edge://profile-internals/ , clicking the heading, then looking next to "Profile Path"), then it is still creating the "Favicon" and "Favicons-journal" files, but I assume isn't populating them with anything? I've tried deleting both files, restarting my PC, but even after Edge recreates them, no bookmarks are gaining any favicons. Is anyone else getting this issue...?

Describe the problem: Edge ships with some built-in search-engines. These vary by-country, but for UK users they are "Bing", "Yahoo!", "Google US" and "DuckDuckGo". None of the built-in engines will initially show any icons next to them -- all just show a blank-page icon, making the feature look broken. Suggest a solution: Either one of the following: Edge should ship with the favicons for each built-in search-engine already cached Or the first time Edge is ran, where a valid Internet-connection is present, it should immediately retrieve the favicon for each one silently, in the background Any workarounds? After the user has visited the website of one of the search-engines that comes built-in, the favicon will get cached. If the user were to return to the "Manage search engines" screen, you will then see the icon next to each one you have visited. However, given many users are unlikely to have visited all of the sites before they first access the "Manage search engines" screen, the result will be blank-page icons for most, if not all, of them. Before posting on this site, have you suggested this previously using the "Send Feedback" feature built-into Edge? I have, yes.

Suggestion (SS): 5 Classification: BOOKMARKS BAR PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 3-4 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) New suggestions: 1) reduce space between url PRIORITY 9 2) at the moment there is PRIORITY 6-7 if the goal is to have only an icon we need to remove the name, even for javascript. would be better an option keep name but hide name in the bar (if you don't add the auto hide like suggested below). in such way i can understand what javascript is. otherwise i see 8 java and i need to try / check first, only because i forgot the order. same for folder that i don't want to use full name. i use a F, but would be cool to see ferrari once i move the mouse over the folder. same problem if i have 10 google icon one after the other, or near. maybe in 5 months i first need to remember "ok the order was x y z". 3)keep pinned url on the left and on the right. PRIORITY 2-3 this mean ------ pinnedurls------- MOVABLE url ------pinned urls---- if now pinned on right include ciao and we add an new url on movable, generally you hide ciao. with this feature you keep ciao, you keep the new url, but you hide the last url in movable. (less important feature, but still useful) 4) Previous suggestions: this post will include some previous suggestion written in chrome https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130325&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID if we use a javascript bookmark, you should give us a way to customize the icon, and not showing always the same icon.... is really bad if we have 8 javascript 1 after the other (with identical design)... https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130332&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID add a way to add folder on bookmarks by showing us only a letter like G, and not icon + G... (in the style of pale moon) https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130494&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID add a way that if i click cmd to 3-4 url/folder, i can move the position of all 3-4. not that i need to open bookmarks or move 1 after the other. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130497&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID so you just need to add an icon. in such way we don't need to cmd a + delete title every time. this should happen even if we drag drop link to bookmarks. sometimes you put the link inside >>, because the name is to long. we always need to make bigger windows to remove the full name (or go to bookmarks panel) so that we can see the icon in the normal bookmarks bar (without using >> to see it). https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130505&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID if we are between url a and url b on the bookmarks bar, and now we right click add folder, you should create the folder after a and not at the end. otherwise i would go to the menu bar and choose create folder or use add to bookmarks to create a new folder... https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130555&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID don't show us the whole name, but just the icon. in such way we can store 3-4 additional links in the bookmarks bar without need to use >> https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130546&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID add option to reload all favicons with 1 click plus https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130464&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID which probably will be refused: if i have 5 javascript in the bookmarks, i wish i could add even extension like save to... near this 5 javascript (like i can do in firefox). in such way i just click 6-7 button one after the other without need to click 5 button, change position (go to extension toolbar) and click other 1-2 button .... this is the similar to the suggestion that i never sent to google "add extension to the left, like safari and firefox, in the extension bar" You can find this suggestion on Chromium too: CHECKLATER* --------------- All my other suggestions are here: https://link.ws/edgesuggestions Suggestions I liked from other user here: https://link.ws/othersuggestions Chromium suggestions list 1: https://link.ws/chrome1 and 2: https://link.ws/chrome2 From end 2020-10 all suggestions are written on both Edge and Chrome at the same time, suggestions before 2020-10 are available only on Chrome. *to avoid a ban from Google, I submit only limited post pro week.
