New blog post: This blog got a new favicon thanks to the Small Web

Thanks to the magic of the Small Web, a stranger I'd never met handcrafted a new favicon for this blog.

I've seen countless Mastodon instances with the default icon. How feasible it is to replace it with an original one?

#mastodon #fediverse #favicon

Ich habe versucht, das Favicon meines Blogs zu ändern, aber das Ergebnis sah in kleinen Auflösungen einfach nicht gut aus. Ich möchte aber ein neues, nicht langweiliges Favicon für mein Blog. Hat irgendjemand Ideen für ein Favicon, das zu meinem Blog passen könnte? Idealerweise eins, das sich halbwegs gut als SVG umsetzen lässt?

Les favicons SVG semblent être de mieux en mieux supportées.

#favicon #SVG

It is 2026 and I’m ready to adopt a single SVG file for the favicon. The cool thing is that you can make your favicon respect user theme preferences. It has been blogged about many times before.

…but. This is still not working in Safari. Safari ignores user preference overrides inside the SVG styles. Is there an open issue for this on @jensimmons, or do you want me to make one?

Forgot to attach the #GrafX2 screenshot, lol

Nice! With #GrafX2 and my pfp I finally have a custom favicon. Also fixed the default picture for link preview, if there is no header's picture for the linked post :drgn_aww: Like this:

A Self-Hosted Favicon Proxy written in PHP

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/10/a-self-hosted-favicon-proxy-written-in-php/

In theory, you should be able to get the base favicon of any domain by calling /favicon.ico - but the reality is somewhat more complex than that. Plenty of sites use a wide variety of semi-standardised images which are usually only discoverable from the site's HTML.

There are several services which allow you to get favicons based on a domain. But they all have their problems.

• Google
  • Exposes your user's to Google's tracking.
  • Relies on redirects.
• DuckDuckGo
  • Not officially supported by DDG.
• Favicon.is
  • No privacy policy whatsoever.
• Icons.horse
  • Paid service.
  • Only small size icons.
• Favicone
  • No privacy policy.
  • Only small size icons.

I want to show favicons next to specific links, but I don't want to expose my visitors to unnecessary tracking. How can I proxy these images so they are stored and served locally?

There are a few existing services. Some use Cloudflare workers or other cloud services, there are some local-first ones which are unmaintained. But nothing modern, self-hosted, and as easy to deploy as uploading a single PHP file.

So here's my attempt to make something which will preserve user privacy, be reasonably fast, and have moderately up-to-date icons, while remaining fast and efficient.
