There might be a delay in a-c where the thumbnail isn't available: I think there's an API to force the thumbnail to be taken (if we're not doing it already). @psymoon might have more context.

When I initially implemented this (pre-a-c), I've also noticed that we can't always get thumbnails during page load (with WebView). Also, if a site has a bad thumbnail (e.g. all one color, as YouTube videos are because they're a hardware layer), we intentionally drop them.
