Safari 6: favicons slow to load and don't 'stick' (remain in bookmarks)

True. But why should we have to use third-party software to get something that we've already paid Apple the big bucks for? And, like the old scrollbars, it's a case of eliminating a feature that everyone liked - and, if you *didn't* like the favicons, you had the *option* of *not* having them - and replacing it with nothing. Back in the 'Fifties, blue-dot taillights on your hot-rodded Model A were dynamite! Blue-dot bookmarks-menu bars? Does anyone at all understand how blue dots add anything at all to the Mac experience? In what way are they superior to nothing at all? if they're useful, then they should be not only on the *whole* bookmarks menu, but also on every other menu.

Why has Apple unilaterally eliminated favicons? Because it can.

There is no other explanation.

Why does customer feedback have to be "polite and constructive"? What''s "polite and constructive" about the random, unilateral elimination of beloved features like color, real, visible scrollbars, and *optional* elimination of favicons? And what's Apple going to do, put you on a "do-not-sell-to" list, if they don't like the tone of your complaint?

Give me a break.

Or perhaps because the favicon accumulation caused a considerable drag on the performance of Safari. Possibly more people were complaining about Safari being slow than cared about favicons.

You know that no one was ever *obligated* to allow favicons, right? Or is it your claim that, if one merely programmed the *possibility* of using favicons into Safari, irrespective of whether one availed oneself of this potential, then "the favicon accumulation caused a considerable drag on the performance of Safari." And the result was that "[p]ossibly more people were complaining about Safari being slow than cared about favicons."

And, possibly, monkeys may fly out of my hips. Perhaps. You never know.
