[Tab loading animation] Investigate ways to reduce default favicon flicker |
||
Issue descriptionIn many page loads today we momentarily show the default favicon before the actual favicon shows. Is there anything that can be done to improve the polish of this state, by just showing the site favicon and bypassing the default icon. Some ideas: - Do we know the state of a favicon state at any given time, such as it's available / loading. If we know the page has a favicon could we just never show the placeholder, unless it fails to load within Xms. - Artificially delay showing the favicon state by Xms (lets use 500ms as a strawman unless there are better suggestions) since in most cases the favicon would load in this time. At any point during the delay the favicon is made available, end the timeout and immediately animate the favicon in. During this wait time, we should continue to show the placeholder icon.

Related bugs which may help reduce flicker - 907494 - Fade in the favicon placeholder when starting the connecting state 903806 - Update favicon display animation to spec (animating the favicon from the top) Also we could consider having a different colour for the placeholder for focused tabs. In general reloading happens in the focused tab and the 12% black placeholder has much higher contrast against the white versus background. @pbos is this possible?
