Display Favicons in Chrome Bookmark Search

[lemikeone]

Hi Alfred team and community,

 

I’ve been using Alfred for a long time and absolutely love it. It’s my go-to productivity tool. However, one feature I find missing is the ability to display favicons when searching for Chrome bookmarks.

 

Raycast has implemented this, and it makes identifying bookmarks at a glance much quicker and more intuitive. Adding favicons to Alfred’s bookmark search would greatly enhance the experience and make it even more visually efficient.

 

Would this be something the team could consider for a future update? 

 

Thanks for your time and for continuing to make Alfred amazing!

@lemikeone Favicons are already supported in this workflow, which I'd recommend checking out. It's overall much more feature-rich than Alfred's built-in Bookmarks feature, which is intentionally simple to remain fast and reliable.

Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll give the workflow a try! It looks quite advanced and well thought-out! The only thing is that I really appreciate how Alfred’s default search doesn’t require typing a prefix to get results. With this workflow, it seems I’d need to type a few letters first, which slightly disrupts my flow since I like being able to launch Alfred and search everything simultaneously—files, bookmarks, workflows, and more.

 

I completely agree that Alfred’s default bookmark search is impressively fast, and I love that. Still, having favicons would be visually appealing and make it quicker to recognise pages at a glance.

 

Your workflow looks awesome, though, and while it might be a bit advanced for me, I’m definitely going to test it out. Thanks again!
