Why do browser people always forget about favicons? Most browser saved favicon on private browsing and then this.

...and used favicons for the bookmarks.
Mind telling me why that is an issue?

My bookmark bar is entirely favicons. I remove the name and this allows me to fit more in quick-access without having to delve into folders.

Same here. Sadly Safari does not use fav icons in the bookmark bar, so all of mine are emoji.

Unfortunately, you run out of sensible emoji very quickly, so my brokerage ends up 🎲, Github ends up 🐱, and Hacker News ends up ⌛️.

Because Microsoft.
