How to refresh bookmark favicons?

I was wondering if there is a way to refresh the favicons ? I use Linux Mint so I rarely allow it to update because it seems that updates cause more problems than they resolve but after a year I decided to allow Brave to update and nothing improved but as usual it created a problem. Yes with Linux Brave can’t force updates. I love that about Linux ! Searched for answers here but all relating topics are closed and I can’t see replies. All the favicon are gone so I deleted the favicon file with the hope it would allow them to at least update when I used the bookmark again but it still doesn’t. The favicon does come back if I delete the bookmark and bookmark it again. Is there anyway to get them back all at once. I"m using the most recent version of Brave and Linux Mint. Both were updated today.

Problem solved with a browser extension. Now when I open up a bookmark it refreshes the favicon. So I just opened up all my bookmarks folder by folder and their all back. Works like a charm with Linux but I’m not not sure I would be good for other OS that are much more resource intensive than Linux, like Windows. Opening hundreds of tabs at a time may be an issue in Windows depending on your PC. From looking at previous posts it seems to be a reoccurring issue. I wonder why it hasn’t been addressed by the developers. People shouldn’t have to go to such lengths to solve a simple issue such as this.
