Is it possible to add a favicon in front of the link header?

    In the context of the recent GDPR discussions and transparency in general, could you consider listing the external services used in the README? I see Google servers are used to serve the favicons.

    Who operates meta-grabber.herokuapp.com? It it your own app or a third-party?

    Looking at the code I assume this extension also loads oembed images in the user browser without proxy?

      clarkwinkelmann sorry about that, idk
      This is just temporary using
      I'll switch to using PHP or JS library to get data soon
      As for proxies, I don't know about this, but I'll try to find out

        @datlechin an idea 💡 I know it would not be as “cool” but you could just remove favicons. Then you aren’t having to use that Google service. Still, one day, like you said, also using something else to get the meta data would be best. But, either way, not worrying about favicons keeps it more simple.

          .LinkPreview-domain a {
    color: // put your color
}

            Haven’t had time to install and try this yet. How is it on page load performance? I assume it has to ping the website and get the open graph data each time? Because I think the only way around that is some sort of caching or database storing just for the meta data.

              I'm not sure about this, it depends on your server.

              010101 Because

              That's a good idea, but I don't know how to do it right now

                    datlechin it would be difficult, I think. One option would be, as you post, it grabs the meta og image, and uploads it somewhere. Like the upload extension does. You then at least have the link’s image stored. But I don’t know how. That is still above my programming knowledge. 😳

                        I fear, then too much ends up being stored locally. And I think people would need to add to their privacy polices that this site stores images locally.

                            010101 Just store the link image, title, and description of each link..... I think storing them in session storage would be better. Because after closing the browser, the data stored on it will be destroyed.
