This would make it easier to navigate around them.

I worked on this during initial development, but it was difficult because the page needs be be loaded (the favicon, specially) before it can be stored by the extension.

There are some other issues with the extension. Eventually, I'll look into all of them (and reattempt this).

Thanks.

Maybe showing the linked text or URL in the title is better?

aghorler commented 6 years ago

The URL was shown is earlier versions of Firefox.

The title was difficult again because it required the page load.

Maybe for already opened links. Like for pages that has already opened and can be found in Browser History.

on chrome (and maybe firefox) the browser itself calls to domain.com/favicon.ico even if there is no tag in the html head. suggesting not a new call but at least check the cache for this.
