Anybody have a Chrome-plugin version of this? Or should I look into making it when I get home? :)
Show HN: Favicons for HN

#22I made an update that adds images in urls in comments too.
It shows smaller favicons, and it prevents adding new images when going back in history too :)

Re: Show HN: Favicons for HN
#23Cool idea but I generally like the text-based meritocracy that exists now. I mostly go by post title rather than source. I would bet that I’d be influenced by sources more if I saw the source’s favicon. Just a hypothesis.

#24Tangent: try to make sure your websites serve the right favicon regardless of whether the user is logged in or not. Its honestly no big deal, but something I noticed writing the favicon service for synth.app (for tabs and such before we can calculate the favicon using the HTML).
For example, the google domains (gmail/cal/drive/etc) all show the same google accounts favicon [1] and we had to special case a few more.

#25I had to add // @match https://news.ycombinator.com/ * in the header to make it work in firefox.
For violentmonkey, I needed // @inject-into content
Re: Show HN: Favicons for HN
#26Doesn’t work (at least for me in Chrome with Tampermonkey) due to Hacker News’s Content-Security-Policy header. > Refused to load the image ' ' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src data: 'self' ". Overriding this would probably require an extension with a Service Worker that edits the CSP header.
Yeah, appears XHR/fetches are similarly blocked – was looking into data URIs. Good job HN for getting a decent CSP set up!

#27Am I the only one getting a CSP error on this? (using Brave & Snippets)
Re: Show HN: Favicons for HN
#28Is anyone who's good with CSS able to modify this to align the icon and text better? The current alignment where the baseline of the text is in line with the bottom of the favicon feels off.
Re: Show HN: Favicons for HN
#29Please dont add any icons any more colors. I love that text-based interface.

#30N.B. this is going to send a request to duck duck go for every link which (a) some people aren't going to like, and (b) DDG might not like (I couldn't find any explicit policy for using their favicon service).
Google have the same service[1] if that's your thing.
I've been using it on a links heavy dashboard page for a couple of years now, and it always worked.
I'll probably switch to DDG now tho.
