Hmm... I can't be the only person with suggestions here, right?
I doubt that his would be easy to implement, but it would be nice to have. Whenever I synch my bookmarks, any favicons that had existed previously are no longer present. Would it be possible to preserve existing favicons? To push the issue further, would it also be possible to synch favicons between equivalent bookmarks? In other words, if a bookmark for one browser contains a favicon and the same bookmark in another browser does not, the result of the synch would be that the bookmark in both browsers would contain the favicon. I would envision that this behavior would be optional. Although this is low priority since it has nothing to do with the core functionality of the product, I thought I'd mention the idea anyway.

Yes, this would be cool, I agree. Thanks for sharing your suggestions. But as usual, Internet Explorer has a really messed up way of managing the icons, making it very hard to accomplish.
It might be a little easier to preserve existing icons though, but I'm not sure. It is already on my list of things to look into when I get some more time anyway.
