This actually causes a small problem
Authored by: turkchgo on Sep 17, '02 07:44:58PM

Ok, it's been a couple of days since I turned this feature on in Chimera and I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this or not, but maybe this was left off on purpose? The reason being, after you enable this everytime you launch Chimera it goes and checks/updates EVERY bookmark Favicon in your bookmarks file and won't load any pages or do anything until it's finished. Also, it takes even longer if you have some bookmarks in your list that are moved, outdated or gone, as it sits and waits for the 404 error.

If you have a lot of bookmarks like I do, this can make Chimera stall at startup for almost 4 minutes until it will load a page. I'm not sure how many bookmarks I have but I think it's over 300, and now, everytime I launch Chimera it goes and checks for a Favicon in each one, so I think I'm going to turn this off until it's fixed.

I noticed the same thing. I don't have 300 bookmarks, and i only start-up Chimera once per day (when i get up).
So for me, the benefit of favicons outweighs the cost, but it's good that you pointed out this drawback for other people who might be affected.
