Favicons of extension's pages in the tree view

[Procyon-b]

Apparently, chrome gives access to favicons of extensions. I haven't found any documentation, but by analysing the bookmark manager's source code, I came upon this url scheme:

for TF: chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://hbajjpcdbninabigakflkhiogmmjaakm
for tampermonkey: chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo

You can change the size by modifying the number in the url.
They also play with 1x 2x.

I've manually tested by using the url directly in the source code of TF's window. It works.

Merging into #196

master now has an initial version of this feature.

Reopening, though, because it turns out Tampermonkey's icons are data:, so I don't need to pull them from Chrome. Any other extensions you have found that don't show icons in the tree but that you wish did?

Edit What I am really asking for is a conventional bug report. What steps did you take, what did you see, and what did you want to see instead? I am not convinced I completely understand your original post. Thanks!

Here is what extensions' tabs look like right now. Edit: (in v0.2.1)

uBlock is special, TF tries to use chrome-extension://cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm/img/icon_16.png which is forbidden by chrome. Hence the black icon (no img)

Chrome has a special url scheme to allow access to favicon. It supports accessing other extensions favicons.

Here is what it looks like:

This is manually edited by adding styles to the elements.
The only thing to do is prefix the url of the page with chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/ and use it in url(""). Not even necessary to remove the rest of the extension path after the extension's id.

To be clear, here are the five favicons in the order of the image

chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo
chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://lfakeapmadmnkglfmneoeggojcifebha
chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://oglbhaepiihmmmaipmglkfhbaahhbkec
chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne
chrome://favicon/size/16@1x/chrome-extension://cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm

So, when encountering a tab with a URL starting with chrome-extension://, TF can use/find the correct favicon by prefixing the tab's url with this specific scheme.

Sorry. I don't see the extensions' icons in the list.
