yes
Describe the issue you encountered:
Some websites (such as Youtube) doesn't display a good quality favicon by default, and appear pixelated on new tab's topSites.
build high-res favicon collector mechanism, pulled from page header at domain root page
Expected behavior:
TopSites should have an aesthetically pleasing favicon.
My suggestion here:
I was thinking on getting images following Apple > MS conventions on links/meta icon declarations, then search for a given pattern for high res icons (maybe look for size attr, or maybe a given number). If all else fails we fallback to default *.ico images we already have. Like:
1. Search for Apple name convention <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://example.com/apple-touch-icon.png">
2. Search for MS name convention (tile pictures) <meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="http://example.com/mstile-72x72.png">
3. Search for any name convention for high-res icons (find for NxN occurencies or sizes attr) <link type="image/png" rel="icon" href="http://example.com/something-144x144.png" sizes="144x144">
4. Fallback for default *.ico images
