Pencil icon[edit]

the phrase 'green pencil icon' seems misleading. its a regular pencil on a green background. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donpdonp (talk • contribs) 02:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The icon has been updated - http://universaleditbutton.org/images/4/4e/UEB16.png —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.8.216.62 (talk) 05:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Only supported by Firefox"[edit]

Mabdul (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) recently edited the article to state that the UEB is not browser-specific, but that Mozilla Firefox happens to be the only supported browser right now. Frankly, that's looking into the future - that other buy-in is expected does not mean that the actual piece of software being discussed in the article does not only currently exist in the form of a Firefox extension. This should be reverted until such point as the UEB truly is cross-browser. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

no! There are already plugins for other browsers. also for opera! so it isn't any more ff-spezific. (and flock/seamonkey and other gecko/mozilla releted browsers!) mabdul 0=* 18:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the "plugin for opera" seems to destroy all favicons and replace them with this green icon. 87.116.211.50 (talk) 22:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Epiphany has also a plugin/addon/extension! and I'm using operas js-script. It is doing the job: changing the favicon and clicking on it will do the browser going on the edit page... mabdul 0=* 09:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have written a section explaining how to implement on a server side. It is actually very easy and can be added to any web application for that you have at least web template. I also think that the article is notable Audriusa (talk) 17:40, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
