  1. Hackaday: When A Favicon Becomes The Entire Website. “Putting hidden data in places where few expect it can be a fun hobby or even a professional career. In the case of [Tim Wehrle] it’s just the former. His most recent project in this area uses a favicon image for storing a HTML-based website and rendering its contents within the browser after the favicon has been downloaded.”

  2. Oh, joy! Someone finally found a way to #exploit the one thing we all thought was too trivial to worry about: #favicons. 🔍💀 Who knew your little browser icon was actually a super sleuth in disguise, even in incognito mode? Time to put on your tinfoil hats, folks! 🧢✨

  3. I search on NTS how to CSS filter, and go listen to shoegaze on MDN.

  4. Paying for favicon services is meh, today I'm releasing iconic, an open source favicon server to allow easy website favicon identification... Try the demo at icons.iocium.net/

    Source will be available to run your own, or use the library to create your own!

  5. Found on LinkedIn: Pixel Icon Library. From the front page: “Introducing HackerNoon’s Pixel Icon Library, an open-source collection of Pixelated Icons. Meticulously designed on a 24px grid, ensuring perfect alignment and consistency to enrich your web/app/product/page/life experience.”

  6. Is it just me, or does the #PasswordsApp reload the website #FavIcons for every #Entry every #Day? Why is this not stored for a longer time? Can I turn off the #FavIcons completely? #Apple

  7. What do you think of this extension for desktop chrome browser? - Its your existing bookmarks, but instead of a tiny sliver, you get a nice full screen grid layout with icons imported automatically, also allows drag and drop. you can also right click settings > themes > choose any dark background for a night mode / dark theme, easier on the eyes.

    If we could call the developer, contact them, could we ask them to open source their software and put it up on GitHub?

  8. Why the hell doesn’t Safari still not support SVG in favicons? You really still need a .ico file? #webdev #favicons

  9. ** #MD2HTML version 1.2 **

    #Markdown to #HTML

    Les ajouts :
    → Possibilité de coder en #HTML
    → Possibilité d'ajouter des #favicons

    J'ai étoffé les explications dans le code d'origine.

    Bon, j'arrête là dans le développement. Puisque, d'un point de vue personnel, j'ai tout ce qu'il me faut. 😉

    Bonne journée ! ^^

  10. one of PEBIs features I as an not-artist use is the ability to easily create favicons
    making these .ico files was always one of the most atrocious things to do until now
    #PEBI #favicon #favicons #web #webdevelopment #gamedev <- yes, you need them for game development too ^^"

  11. ugh. downvote from me on #google's addition of #favicons to search results. 👎

  12. Every few months or so I question why I don't use #Safari as my default #browser on #Mac, since it offers better performance.

    The switching process usually lasts for about 5 minutes until I rediscover that the #bookmarks bar does not support #favicons.

    "Ah yes, now I remember why."

    See you in a few months, Safari 👋
