Safari and favorite icons

[novalido]

Not sure if before it was like this and I had an issue but in the past Safari favorites had no falcons. Now I can see them so this is really nice

favicons have worked here for a long time (and continue to show up in safari)....

EDIT: corrected! it does seem to be new in the favorites bar...

yeap I imagined that but for me it was not working since the first installation.. and that was weird even after one reinstallation (that was more weird)
now everything's works well so things of the devil

This is certainly new. Previously favicons only showed on tabs, the bookmark bar just had plain text.

i would say that's correct; i've never used the favorites (bookmark) bar, so was going by the tabs...

Yes, I was astonished to see Apple finally did it. Yay! Safari is slowly crawling into 21st century.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll start using Safari myself (which I currently only do for occasional testing).

Note: No offense to those who love and use Safari. I know these are all personal choices that have many different reasons.

My main remaining obstacle to using Safari now is the behavior of its address/search field. Who knows, maybe one day Apple lets users disable the annoying convulsion/animation of the address field content that occurs every time you place the cursor there. Hey Apple, you know, no other browser does it.

Yeah, this is a nice touch.

That said, I turned it off pretty quick as my favorites bar is pretty full already and the favicons only made that worse, but I can definitely see the appeal.

How did you turn them off. I cannot see an option to remove favicons.

Right click anywhere on the favorites bar (even on a favorite). There will be an option to toggle that setting.
