Pull Favicon (manually/automatically)

Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

Usability generally. Eyes find colors way faster and easier than text or simple icons like in the current release. For a lot of my colleagues critical - sadly.

Q2 - Who is impacted?

Everyone who want to see favicons instead of plain icons

Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?

Currently in testing out password-managers as a replacement for current one in the company. if this feature is checked, Passbolt would hop to #1. Not urgent but a yes/no would help me alot pushing it.

Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)

This topic was already mentioned several times:

I am totally on the anti-tracking page. But I really see the advantage in having them. I see two possible solutions:

  1. Think the best way is, to pull them a single time and build a storage for everyone to pull from. Everytime a colleague adds a entry/url which is not known, pull the favicon and save it, prefill for every new entry with the same url.
  2. Manually pull the favicon. So not automatically pull of the favicon after saving with a URL, only if the button is pressed (like keepass XC makes it possible i guess)

@mods: had to delete the poll in order to post the topic. please add it if needed.
