Wolfgang Milszus (ID: 000000e3c4bea3e6) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/24/2021 Does not work anymore since Chrome 91.

Tomo Sakata (ID: 0000009beefd6654) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2018 This is perfect. Thank you very much Mr Tilman. No idea why Google don't make this by default. They're quite often utterly clueless from the user point of view.

Daryl Van Humbeck (ID: 00000030ecab25e2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/21/2016 Useful, save for the all-too-often time that a website uses the four-digit year in brackets in the page's title.

(ID: ) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/25/2014 Was hoping this worked with Feedly, but doesn't seem to. I like the Icon choice, nothing wrong with its visibility or readability.

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/08/2014 Actually works unlike the others, but it'd be nice to be able to change the badge to something more traditional like a red one. Also, deal-breaker, it resamples all retina favicons down to blocky lo-res on retina Macs.
