How do I get icons to appear in the Favorites Icon Bar in Safari 16.6

I did everything I was told. I see them in the favorites drop down menu.


"On the toolbar, right-click on any bookmark and select the Show Icon Only"

This what is supposed to work but it does not. It does not show up there.



Ventura 13.5.2. This is the latest update I was able to download


Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

See my previous post. It will be available in Safari 17 which hasn't been released yet. Safari 17 is available when macOS Sonoma is released on September 25.

Where is the quote "On the toolbar, right-click on any bookmark and select the Show Icon Only" from? The only place I could find it was on a Microsoft Windows site.


That is not currently an option in Safari.

There is an option coming when macOS Sonoma is released on September 26. See the following from https://www.apple.com/macos/sonoma-preview/pdf/macOS_All_New_Features.PDF


Favicons in the Favorites bar. 

Identify sites in the Favorites bar more easily with favicons.

Thanks. Many apple sites say it works. See the below examples


"For a while now, in many third-party browsers like Chrome and Firefox, favicons have also appeared in toolbars that support links to favorite webpages. In this respect, Safari has lagged behind – until now. "


"In Safari 17, if you have the Favorites Bar enabled (View -> Show Favorites Bar in Safari's menu bar) the favicon for each site will appear beside its title, allowing you to more easily spot it in the bar."


It does not work though, as I don't see Safari 17
