Michael Ryan (ID: 0000001b289dfda9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/18/2023 Pretty useful, but it would be much better if it pulled down a larger image size or at least provided the user the option. Google's favicon API allows requesting larger icons with a simple URL query string, "&size=32". The 16px icon is way too small and looks pretty bad on high DPI retina displays.

Thibaut Labarre (ID: 00000086d7e594f0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/23/2019 Beautiful design and great replacement for the now deprecate Google Inbox functionality. Only issue: it looks like the Oracle favicon is displayed for a few unrelated emails (e.g. Alaska Airlines). It would be nice if this were fixed.
