Replace bookmarks folder icon with emoji

[d2warren]

It would be nice if I could do away with the redundant folder icon and just use an emoji to label my bookmarks folders.

@d2warren You may try this mod in the meanwhile:

.bookmarkbarItem.folder svg {display: none;} /*hide stock icon*/

/EDIT: And the modify the title adding an emoji (winkey+dotkey)

@Hadden89 You don't need to add css for the n-th folder, you can type the emoji as / before the title of the folder

[d2warren]

@LonM I'm sorry can you expound on that some more? I'm having trouble understanding what you meant.

@d2warren The original post of @Hadden89 was also setting the emoji with the CSS, but once you hide the bookmark folder icon with CSS, you only need to put the emoji at the beginning of the bookmark folder title to achieve the same result.

It is just easier to set the emoji that way.

@nomadic, that is clever and helpful but how does someone add an icon file (*.ico) as a symbol for a bookmark folder? I would like to use the same icon files used in my Windows file manager or websites.

Before "all the browsers" settled on a Chromium backbone it was rather standard to property click a bookmark folder and add the icon from one's computer.

I don't use other than the folder icon, but using emojies instead of names to save space.

@d2warren Settings, Bookmarks, Bookmark Bar, Bookmark Bar Display, Text Only. Then rename the folder with an Emoji.
