#2Someone posted a less intrusive extension hack (which also doesn't use real favicons) a while back:

#3Cool. One bug I found: if you click on a link and it opens in a new tab, it will use the favicon from the previous tab even if the new tab has a different favicon.

#4If developers are doing all this work just to get a feature back, I wish some people at Apple will wonder why it's not directly included.
I've contacted Safari devs and even created a bug report (marked as a duplicate a few days later) about that issue. The lack of an option to display favicons in Safari is incomprehensible, this small feature makes me unable to consider this browser as something else than the one I use to watch Apple keynotes.

I get that you like favicons, but how is the lack of this one very minor feature something you consider a complete roadblock to using the browser as a whole?

For those of us with lots of tabs (e.g. more than a dozen), favicons are the only way to know what is in each tab. With only a letter or two showing, favicons are the only tab content identifier that exists.

This goes double for Safari, which filters out any text in tab names that is shared between two or more tabs.

#8I might be in the minority, but I really enjoy the fact there are no favicons in Safari, the cleaner looks really help the content of the current page stand out more.
And after all, there is Chrome, Firefox, and many others that do have them for the ones that find them useful.

I do a similar thing for Chrome. It's not so much the missing minor feature, as much as the way the dev/mgmt team works. If Safari refuses to have favicons, then they might think another important thing for you is not important for them. For me, I refuse to use Chrome because they don't want to put an option or allow extensions to remove the X button on the tabs. It's silly, I know. But I want it because I press it accidentally every now and then. I might be missing out on other features etc they have, but I want this small think that they don't want to have.
It's about the principal. For me, and for many others, each with their own requirements.

I normally group my windows by subject instead of having a bunch of completely unrelated tabs in a single window. You can also use Show All Tabs (⌘⇧\) to see all of the tabs in a window in a manner that shows you what each tab is (and also groups some tabs together, I think based on site, but I don't use it often enough to figure out the exact rules of when it groups tabs).
