Reduce the pixelated aspect from favicons in New Tab Page

[reidark]

Description

The favicons in the New Tabe Page have the pixelated (low resolution) aspect. After read the #14485 It seems that not every favicon will look great in this page, because some websites don't have a good resolution favicon.

So, in order to reduce this pixelated aspect from this favicons, I propose to change the TileFavicon width/height to 64px to match the actual favicon size from chrome directory.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a New Tab in Brave with pre visited websites
2. Take a closer look in listed websites favicons

Actual result:

For me this only happens on imported bookmarks. When I visit those sites, they get higher resolution favicons after.

All icons for me on the new tab page are low-resolution and therefore pixelated upon scaling up.

+1 please fix, it's really annoying

[ronakkothari123]

I understand why this is an issue, as the HTML icon is 16 by 16. I believe that this can be fixed through webscraping.
