Wonderful idea, creative execution :-)

Pros:

Favicons, yay!

Cons:

Dim inactive tab icons to grayscale?

This looks interesting and useful, congratulations on launching it, Daniel! I think the main challenge is the layout, and more importantly, the spacing. It looks kind of crammed together. But I guess there's nothing that can be done about that.

@luksape yeah, unfortunately I can't manipulate the layout of Safari's tabs. I think it works better for tabs than for the favorites bar, so that's disabled by default 😅

Hello everyone! After John Gruber wrote about Safari's lack of tab Favicons last month, I tried remixing some components of my existing app Timing (https://producthunt.com/posts/ti...) into an app that displays tab Favicons for Safari. It works by asking Safari for a list of all tabs with their titles, URLs and positions, then uses these to fetch the corresponding Favicons and overlay them on top of the current Safari window. I hope you'll find this useful — let me know with a comment!

Oh my... What a great idea! Apple is missing this simple feature for aeons. Very well done Daniel! 👍🏼

Not sure why apple removed this feature years ago from the browser. Everything removed in the name of minimalism. Kudos for bringing it back.

Would recommend. 👍

Pros:

Set up is easy

Launched as a DMG so it will actually update unlike most third party extensions

Cons:

Might be a bit buggy still, currently only works on active window

This tool has made my work life so much easier. I normally have 20+ tabs open full of analytics and so on and finding each one was a pain. Everybody should have this installed.

Pros:

Finding tabs is so much easier!

Cons:

When going into page view the favicon should stick to safari, not travel with you.
