Click it to rename the favorite or move it, without opening the manager. ## Icons on the bar Give a favorite an empty name and only its site icon shows on the favorites bar, which fits three times as many. Edge replaces the icon when you next visit the site. ## Keep some bookmarks out of Microsoft Edge altogether Renaming a favorite to something vague is a common way to keep it from standing out; it still shows in the manager and in sync. [Private Bookmarks](/private-bookmarks) is our free extension that saves pages into an encrypted vault on this computer: AES-256-GCM, a key derived from your password, no account, no sync and no network access. Saved pages never appear in the favorites bar, in `edge://favorites` or in your Microsoft account, and the vault locks itself after a few minutes. Edge installs Chrome Web Store extensions. The first time, Edge asks you to allow extensions from other stores; click Allow, then Add to Chrome works as Get. > **Add Private Bookmarks to Edge.** Free. Installs from the Chrome Web Store.
