Option to detect mobile touch icons instead of thumbnails

Hi @Team_Vivaldi - Humble request to consider this. Will make life easier and remove the headache of maintaining local Thumbnails.
Please do consider it. Thank you.
Work on this is already underway:
-
@stardepp Wow... Cool. It would be a major feature when it will be released and will make everyone happy. Top priority.
Thank you for hearing us @Team_Vivaldi - Enjoy your most earned weekend

LLonM moved this topic from Desktop Feature Requests on

Marking as done as vivaldi now has better speed dial image detection logic
-
@LonM I see no change here. If I add a new speed dial, I still get a useless auto-generated thumbnail of the page, e.g. on the Vivaldi Bug report page.
Where is the Mobile Touch icon?
-
@Pesala It is up to the site to provide one. For example, vivaldi.net has a nicely designed one, but vivald.com does not. If vivaldi can't find an appropriate image, it falls back to the normal method
-
@LonM It is not working for me on the latest Stable build. Is this only for Mobile Phones?
-
LLonM moved this topic from Done on
-
@Pesala I'm testing on desktop. Hmm. Maybe this feature isn't fully finished yet. (moved the topic back for now)

There is a Chrome extension called infinity new tab which provides cliackable icons in place of thumbnails whenever we launch a new tab.
By default, it picks up the favicon of the website, but we can customize it using our own image, change background, etc.
It can stack a lot of icons in a single screen. It also has the facility to add multiple swipable screens.
Is this proposal a similar one?
Also, how do I vote for this feature? I didn't see any upvote/downvote buttons here...

@Raindrops1 Click the little button at the bottom of the first post to vote

@LonM Please tell me this is a joke and this "feature" is not actually done for. Out of 24 pages on my speed dial page not a single one has an icon. Even sites like youtube, facebook, gmail or google translate.
Let's compare it to Firefox:

@Mido
Hi, this work more ore less if the page support it, NTV and Youtube does, added two minutes ago.
The tag "In Progress" meant, they are working on it. -
@mib2berlin Then something is fk-ed up on my end (which is weird cuz I installed Vivaldi today so it's clean install):
-
@Mido
Hm, I have open ntv.de, youtube.com, add it as bookmark to speed dial, ready.
How did you do?I create the speed dial thumbnails myself, when I see the Facebook icon in Firefox I would change this immediately.
EDIT: User make hundreds of Thumbs:

@Mido
Aha, no idea why this make a difference. -
@mib2berlin check out what happens when you reload the speeddial thumbnail... Suddenly your nice icon is gone due to VB-79298 "Logo thumbnails for speeddials can only be set by removing and readding the SD"
-
@WildEnte what's VB-79298?

VB-<number> is the Vivaldi Bug report number you get when reporting a bug using their bug tracker https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ - I have reported that "Logo thumbnails for speeddials can only be set by removing and readding the SD" and this report received the number VB-79298
@mib2berlin said in Option to detect mobile touch icons instead of thumbnails:
this report is for Vivaldi 3.8
Makes you wonder why some people say Vivaldi seems unfinished at times
