Are you a web site owner who uses Favicons on your site? If you are then you know that creating these Favicons can be time consuming and difficult. Or are you a web site surfer that just loves using those Favicons to distinguish your favorite web sites when you bookmark them for later visits? Regardless of your reason for loving or using Favicons nothing can be more annoying that having those Favicons disappear.

We all know that web site and web browser bugs happen from time to time. Sometimes during a software update, other times for absolutely no reason. These little errors can be a pain to say the least. I have had my passwords disappear, my bookmarks disappear, and more. Each time this happens I have found myself in a state of helpless rage trying to figure out some way to find what I have lost. Luckily for me these days there is a way to recover almost anything that disappears from your web browser no matter how trivial it might be.

The latest bit of software to make web browser errors a little bit more tolerable is the Icon Grabber. This little gadget can be a life saver to say the very least. Before when my Favicons disappeared there was nothing I could do to restore them. All I could do was be frustrated.

Why did the loss of these Favicons bother me so much? Well the Favicons made it easier for me to quickly locate a specific bookmark. I have a lot of bookmarks and it was quicker to look for an icon than read the titles of each and every one of the hundreds of web sites I have bookmarked for various reasons. Also it frustrated me that software existed that could restore lost passwords or the loss of the url itself but that there was NO way to retrieve an icon. Now that has all changed.

The Icon Grabber is quick to install and very easy for anyone to use regardless of their experience with software. The way it works is very simple, after you have installed the Icon Grabber and run it the software will automatically revisit each and every one of your Favorite Places (bookmarks). Once the Icon Grabber software has visited each of your bookmarks it will automatically restore the Favicon Icon to the corresponding bookmark without you having to make any additional steps.

Before this software was installed the only way to get the Favicon again was to manually visit each and every domain that you have bookmarked and bookmark it all over again! Can you imagine how time consuming this is for someone that has literally hundreds of web sites bookmarked? Not only visiting the site and bookmarking it again, but going through and deleting all the old bookmarks to avoid having duplicates. On top of this grunt work you have to make sure that you don’t accidentally forget to re-bookmark a site. When wading through hundreds of domains it is easy to skip over a bookmark and delete it forever without realizing it. Now, thanks to the Icon Grabber you never have to worry about doing any of that again. Have all of your Favicons restored with the click of a button.
