I am NOT a coder, just a minimal hacker. I tried to reduce the size of my bookmark list to transfer to my phone and found something I didn't understand.
In each link section the name, link, title, date, etc. are there. There is, also, a favicon link. then there is a code for "icon=. . ." that is unbelievable! It's not required at all. I've been deleting them with no problem. The question is "WHAT IS IT?".
A few (very few) are only about 3 to 5 screen lines long while others are several pages long. It seems to hold a LOT more data than a simple graphic code to paint the icon. I wonder if it's something to do with permissions, site cookies, or extended and invisible marketing or spying (Oh, heaven forbid!).
Take a look at your own bookmark file with any code editor (I use Dreamweaver and Notepad+) and please explain what's hidden there.
Thank you in advance.
