The icon you normally see up in the tab is the "favicon" - simply a file at the root level called "favicon.ico" usually - that your browser knows to fetch.
Some sites do not have one. If you run a webserver with streaming logs, and point chrome to it - you'll see requests for this favicon 404.
This extension replaces missing favicons with emoji for easier visual scanning
- tmh88j 8y agoI haven't used it yet, but from the looks of it the icons are customizable too. If you don't like the favicon for a certain site you can overwrite it. Could be good for a few blogs that I read that haven't bothered changing the default wordpress favicon.
- rasz 8y agoI didnt get those are custom emojis. Iv been browsing with >50-100 tabs open for at least 10 years and websites with broken/no favicon are very rare. Its usually servers you expect to be permanently broken, like https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/favicon.ico https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/favicon.ico
- seedless-sensad 8y agoSecond paragraph of the article: > The practical inspiration for Favioli came from my day job. We have a lot of internal tools and sites, and they tend to either not have favicons, or have the standard Sony logo. For me this was a bit of a pain, because I love to pin my tabs. I couldn’t tell these sites apart.
