Understood heather0kay,


While the bar itself will not display icons, if you organize your bookmarks into folders, you can see their default icons next to the name in the folder dropdown. Another option is to pin an open tab for a website you visit often. This minimizes the tab to just a page icon and may provide you a good alternative. See Pin frequently visited websites in Safari on Mac


  1. In the Safari app on your Mac, drag the tab with the website you want to pin to the left side of the tab bar.
  2. When the tab shrinks and displays the website’s icon or initial, drop it in place.
  3. You can also choose Window > Pin Tab, or Control-click a tab, then choose Pin Tab.


Thanks!

HI there Heather,


While we recommend reviewing the entire website sent earlier, particularly under the section 'Manage bookmarks', it'll show some other options for managing those in Safari. Here's the link again just in case: Bookmark webpages that you want to revisit in Safari on Mac


If you'd like to submit feedback to Apple, you can do that here: Product Feedback


Take care!
