(I found some old article or thread, but Opera seems too much upgraded respect them and they are not applicable anymore)

some suggestion?

You should be able to click on the heart button at the right of address bar, while the page is opened, to change the thumbnail image.

Favicon? I thought it was able the thumbnail. To change it just change the image that you see when clicking on the heart button.

Favicon, as far as I know, is set by the page.

I tried to click the heart button, and I can ideed slide some images, but I'd like to choose an icon file into my pc, do you think it is possible?

I found the file "Bookmark" in the profile path "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable"

it has the following syntax:

{
"checksum": "32236b6645652639469a3d9ad7becb29",
"roots": {
"bookmark_bar": {
"children": [ {
"date_added": "13150196795000000",
"id": "603",
"name": "TEST1",
"type": "url",
"url": "https://myurl1..."
}, {
"date_added": "13141829760000000",
"id": "604",
"name": "TEST2",
"type": "url",
"url": "http://192.168.1.1/"
},

someone know if is it possible to add a tag here (e.g. IMG) to point an external icon file?

I know it's a bit late but I just had the same issue myself and found a solution.

This extension lets you upload your own image while on a site you have bookmarked in order so you can change its favicon to your liking.
(I'm on Opera GX btw Idk if that makes any difference)
