Review by Orangutan

Makes the process of reloading favicons much more convenient, keeping in mind webextension limitations around the same.

Suggestions:

1) Maybe load the bookmarks in background tabs so that it is at least theoretically possible to continue working while the extension loads and closes all tabs in the background. Currently, it is impossible to use the browser while the extension works.

2) Move the extension out of the sidebar, into its own dedicated page. I don't think it makes much sense to use the sidebar for this extension, and you will also run into issues because people might have sidebars with smaller widths.

Thank you for your feedback. I’ve implemented your first suggestion in the latest release. When it comes to the second one I’m skeptical. I do most of my bookmark related stuff in the bookmarks sidebar. Having the errors in the sidebar, I can quickly review them without window switching/rearranging and now I can keep an eye on the progress while opening other tabs - for example to review an error. I consider reducing the font-size of the list though. Displaying bookmarks in the sidebar should be possible on every screen, shouldn’t it? I think I don’t expect too much when I’m expecting people to resize their sidebar. Maybe a misconception ;) Maybe there are even screens where the sidebar can’t get wide enough but how does the bookmark sidebar work on that screens? Well, I will keep that in mind...
