As of 2020, there are so many resources scattered around the web that bookmarks are essential to remember what tool you are in. So many that my bookmarks are arranged in many folders. I have even eliminated the name in each one of them with the intention of having more space and it is really comfortable to click on the pure icon of the requested web page knowing with precision where it will take you.
I really like the fact that bookmarks automatically add the website favicon, but when it comes to folders they are all the same.
From the user experience, it can take a while to recognize which folder has the right tools for your current task. So to resolve this confusion I would recommend a couple of options:
Right-click> Edit> Change Favicon Folder> Load 16x16 PNG Image Add an advanced option that updates the folder icon (parent) to the first bookmark icon (child) within the folder
Currently, I am separating each folder with a letter or a small word which could lead some space to other bookmarks
One last thing I would like to recommend you adding is that sometimes the icons are black and can disappear on the bookmark bar. It would be great to have a tool that can change the icon color into negative or positive depending on the case and even better in an automatized way.
This feature is something that no other browser has, but I know you will be the first.
I am really disappointed they didn’t include the option to toggle between the two. I’m really not a fan of the yellow and would love the outlined versions back. Less invasive and work much better I believe. I might just have to remove the bookmark tab altogether at this point until they allow us to diverse.
exactly i really loved the old “other bookmarks” icon the classic black icon but the new updated “other bookmarks” icon is very bad looking and just makes the whole homepage worst…the yellow icon is just the worst idea of adding i would like you guys to change it to the older one…please
Adding an option to change the folder to a 48x48 or 256x256 image should not be difficult and extremely useful for heavy browser users who have a lot of bookmarks. No brainer.
Absolutely agree that we should have more flexibility when it comes to bookmarks menu in general I find Brave to be too limited and lacking customisation and fast/easy sorting out options.
Please add this! I’m used to chrome’s wonderful transparency letting the beautiful theme shine through and now I can’t go back to irky yellow! <3
I’m sticking w/ Chrome until beauty is added back…
Transparent folder icons would really enhance the browser’s appearance (just like in Google Chrome). Additionally, it would be nice if could be upgraded with an option for users to customize the folder icons themselves … such as selecting a different color for the folders or choosing a custom icon.
