How do I change Safari favorites page icons on OS X from generic letter to logo icons of the sites?

I was stuck and found the answer here:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/294606/how-to-get-icons-in-safari-favo rites-aka-favicons-to-display-correctly/294633#294633?newreg=b79e2ebf339d46dea14 e41701f6c71b7

thought I would share it with the community. It's a workaround. Solution I prefer was provided by xdavidliu.

The answer I provided above is basically as follows:


1. Go to safari bookmarks bar on top and look at what and look at what the icon currently looks like (It will be a small icon.) remember what it looks like.

2. Go to finder on the top menu bar select Go>Go to folder and type:

~/Library/Safari/Touch Icons Cache/Images/

3. Browse through the icons until you find the one you identified above. Replace with same named png. Be sure the size is 144x144.

4. Restart Safari.
