November 30th, 2008Daily Tip – Save Bookmarks Bar Space by Adding Bookmarks as Icons Without Names

Posted by Eyal Sela in category self efficiency with Tags Bookmarks, Tips

When adding a new bookmark (favorite) to the bookmarks bar, leave the “name” field empty. That way, the bookmark will be saved only as the favicon (short for favorites icon) of the website, allowing you to save space in the bookmarks bar and make more bookmarks visible.

Indeed you are right.
For websites without an icon, you can add one or two ‎characters or other symbols that will serve as an icon (such as these: >> , ? ). I find ‎it helpful and easier to recognize than the name of the site. ‎

You can see an example in the screenshot presented above.

not all websites would end up as an meaningful icon. some icons would just look like a generic page and without the names you would not be able to tell the difference between them. by the way, to easily add websites to your favs, simply drag the address from the address bar into your bookmark bar.
