Forgetting Favicons

Up until this morning, my laptop browser (I currently use Opera) had a neat little bookmarks bar, featuring the favicons of my most-used sites. No words, no folders, just tiny, pretty sigils. I liked this, and still do, but I realised I never click on these any longer. All those sites that I used to check on my laptop have now moved to being checked on my phone, whether via feedly, or a native app. This represents a considerable shift in internet methodology for me and one that crept up absolutely unnoticed until this very morning. Now I have removed the bookmarks bar — pretty as it is, why waste pixelspace?
