Bookmark favicon automatically changes to ATD's discarded favicon #223

Not sure if this is more of an issue with Chrome than the extension itself but I keep having an issue where the favicon of my bookmarks change to that of the discarded favicon (I've attached an image below), I used to use The Great Suspender and I don't think I had this issue, despite them having favicons to note when a tab is suspended.

Does anyone know of a way to stop this without disabling the discarded favicon styling as a whole? Thanks

As far as I know, there is no visual API yet to alter the tab's appearance in Chrome. So this extension manually alters the page favicon just before discarding a tab.

TGS redirects to an internal page instead of discarding so the story is different.

There will be a new option on the options page to prepend a symbol to the discarded tabs instead of altering the favicon (e.g. 💤 or ⏻︎). Since there is no styling API yet for tabs, I am closing this bug for now.
