favicon

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it with relevant information.

A favicon is a convention for websites to provide an icon for browsers to display in bookmarks, favorites, history, and other places they show or list URLs.

You can get favicons for most sites as PNGs using Google's cache of them, e.g.: https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=${domain}&sz=${size}

• favicons?domain=twitter.com&.png from https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=twitter.com&.png
• favicons?domain=facebook.com&.png from https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=facebook.com&.png
• etc.

    <text y=".9em" font-size="90">💩</text>
