ih-codes are we going to cover this one with the new fav icons update? There are some website today that appear just as the letter and a background color, are we going to bring the icon of the website?

Norberto Andres Furlan I tried to reproduce the example with bookmarking Facebook, and this is what I see on main:

!Screenshot 2024-08-06 at 10.39.21 AM.png|width=517,height=972,alt="Screenshot 2024-08-06 at 10.39.21 AM.png"!

So it seems to be correct already on main. Do you have an example of a site where the bookmark favicon was just a letter when it shouldn’t be? Then I can test on my favicon refactor to see if there’s an improvement. But perhaps this has been fixed by someone else already?
