19 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to change Bookmarklet Favicon Icons!

Here’s a cool Chrome Hack, it’s how to change your Bookmarklet Favicon Icons using a Windows SQL database browser and switching around some values.  It’s very interesting to note that the Chrome browser uses a local database within the program, thus making it more stable and scalable.  (I am not sure if the same thing is done with Firefox but I believe there’s a bunch of libraries that you need to know.)

This is a rather complex hack involving numbers so I will just wait until the Chrome adds automatic favicon recognition feature like Firefox.

But if you really want it NOW, you can click the via link below and knock yourself out.

I added quite a few bookmarklets to my Bookmarks bar and was unhappy with the same default icon that showed for each one. There are no settings currently available within Chrome to change the icon, but there is a way to fix them that works quite well.
