Summary

This extension is very small and very simple. I wrote it for myself one day to meet my own needs, but I'd really like some feedback. Can it be improved? What were you looking for when you came across it? Does it do what you want? If not, what is it missing? Can/should it display more of the image's meta info? Maybe auto-save the icons of all open tabs into a folder? Please let me know.

I really like your extension, it saves time not having to find the favicon in the source code. An improvement might be to allow conversion of an ICO file to PNG (perhaps simply by adding a link to a website that can handle the conversion). A link to a Google Image search where you could find a larger version of the image would also be useful for my use case (my goal is to download a square PNG of at least 256×256 px at the end, which is not always available). Thanks a lot!
