Now this is the kind of library I like. Not something difficult, or complicated. Just a small, fun library that does one thing and does it well.

#22OMG. This literally will solve a UI issue that chizzl.com (my lil start-up that could) has been trying to solve for 2 months. Bless this lib and bless Ycomb!

Well rephrased, everyone using Chrome and almost everyone using Firefox, since 15 and 9 are eons ago for those two. Pretty sure that's a decent percentage (40+ accord to StatCounter?)

#26It would be useful to tie this in with something like YouTube, where the pie graph represents how much of the video has been buffered.
Similarly for a page that auto-refreshes, it could indicate that interval.

I am not sure about the Youtube since they have stopped buffering the whole video in one go. It just waits at the 30sec mark for you to cover the first 10sec and then jumps another 30sec, so on. Guess, its some bandwidth saving technique.

#29I feel like this would be rather annoying and distracting. I could just imagine my 10+ tabs in Firefox having a pie chart or something blinking instead of a plain image. It feels like were devolving to the old websites of flashy and blinking images trying to lure people in. Don't get me wrong though, it is neat! But... Where is that disable favicon extension now?
Another thing is that the fav icon is too small to use for any meaningful notification.
Wait for the 4x favicon!

#30No favicon change in Opera 12.
Ack, the first image is shown, then the github favicon appears again and blinks at every update of the pie chart (probably showing the pie chart for a fraction of a second).
