Known issue, last time I asked if they would match the scaling as on the URL bar to 'beautify' them; it was suggested not.

Comment 2

[Ian Barlow (:ibarlow)]

these are scaled to the right size, but we should be

1. asking websites for higher quality favicons, as many have them now

2. applying crisper scaling for small favicons, rather than this blurry anti-aliasing we are doing now. The end result would be favicons that look pixely, but at least they would not look blurry.

Nothing to really do here for now.

At moment keep showing pixeled favicons in any page, the problem is nota solved yet.
