Greasy Fork

FaviconizeTheWeb (too in OpenUserJS) : Maybe try an alternate sevice to find Favicon ?

That's the following of my request in FaviconizeTheWeb Request

I use your original code now (work perfectly).
But i try to find others services:


//g.etfv.co - ( It provide favicon silently, BUT seems use https only for Its paid services).
//img.src = 'http://g.etfv.co/' + protocol + "://" + host;
//api.byi.pw (JAPANESE site) - Work BUT not provide all Faviicons (no greasyFork.ico by example) .
//img.src = 'http://api.byi.pw/favicon?url=' + protocol + "://" + host;
//favicon.yandex.net - Work BUT FavIcons are strange.
//img.src = 'http://favicon.yandex.net/favicon/' + protocol + "://" + host;


What's the best solution ??

Ps, some ideas here:
Favicons Next To External Links [Css-Tricks]

Nice research, thanks!

But if the original works perfectly, then why do you want to use a different favicon provider?

Are you trying to escape the Google monopoly? :)

[Edit: Oops, I forgot we aren't using Google since your last contribution on userscripts.org!]

:-)

Sorry, I read your post on OpenUserJS now. So the problem is speed? There are a few things that could improve the speed:

• Tweak the throttling settings at the top of the script: reduce initialDelay and delayIncrement, increase batchSize.
• Don't ask the website for its ICO, PNG, GIF, and JPG favicons first, just ask the service immediately. (Set alwaysUseGoogle=true at the top of the script. That variable could be renamed, since it uses g.etv.co at the moment, not Google!)
• Consider using my FaviconizeGoogle script instead. That doesn't have any throttling, and doesn't use a service! (But it only works on sites that have a favicon.ico file.)

If you find a service that is always better than g.etv.co then I'm happy to switch (again). :)

(We could refactor the script a little and put services at the top, to make it easier for users to reconfigure.)
