Norberto Andres Furlan Just looking at the Bestbuy website (select country page), it’s clear they only have a low quality favicon:

Link: https://www.bestbuy.com/~assets/bby/_com/header-footer/images/favicon-32.png ( https://www.bestbuy.com/~assets/bby/_com/header-footer/images/favicon-32.png )

So in this case, the blurriness is expected. Even the main website doesn’t have a better quality one, or even any Open Graph image metadata.

Only bundling a higher quality version of the favicon ourselves could improve this situation, which I think we want to avoid for now. So I assume this is just one of those websites we let be blurry.

Hi ih-codes Norberto Andres Furlan ! So we should ignore this grade of bluriness in the future and only log the awfully blurred favicons?

I think that’s appropriate, but I’ll defer to Norberto Andres Furlan
